    >how could I close all ports below 1024.

    Just don't open them in your firewall. Yup, you should be using one.

    You *can* close ports and turn off services listening on ports
    manually, for example by using TCP/IP filtering (look under Help) on
    your NIC. But a firewall is just so much easier, cleaner and better
    for monitoring.
