Re: Closing ports
What you want, then, is something like Zonealarm - which is free for personal use. This will stop malicious programs (ie trojans) on your PC accessing the internet without your permission.

However, are you running an adsl or cable router of some kind?

If so, then you can also block incoming ports by using NAT.
