I tried the "Probe my Ports" test at www.grc.com and the result for me
was that Port 113 was open. The site gave a piece of advice to
download the free version of ZoneAlarm to increase your computer
security. I did what they suggested and I run the test again but
unfortunately the Port 113 was still open. I have tried to look for
help from www.zonelabs.com and from groups.google.com but I haven't
found the solution how I can close Port 113.

So my question is quite simple:

"How can I close Port 113?"

Thanks for the help in advance!!

PS! I do not have installed Kazaa in my computer, however I have
Messenger and mIRC installed in my computer. I have also checked my
computer with Ad-Aware.
