Thank you all for the replys.

I am not on a router.
I have a direct cable connection
I am not having any trouble connecting or surfing the internet
I regularly go to Shields Up and it always says that I am in
"Stealth Mode" and that my first 1056 ports do not respond to their
probe. Is this OK?

My AV and SpyCleaner, Spy Bot etc say that I have no bugs so maybe I
am OK ???

Again, Thank You
