"SHEILDS UP" click sheild up and let it check ur ports, all mine were stealth, which is the best.it will explain. just fun maybe some other things i have not tryed, the sight has grown, broadband is a bit more vunerable to open ports. some ppl have port scanners that constantly hunt open ports, but i think mostly like colleges, so they can set up lots of pcs to attack like a web sight. and overload it. there is a word for it but i forgot, lol , anyway its fun,, it does no harm.it was always recomended on this show.i think denial of service is the words i was thinking of, which is just over loading a web sight, take care
