I'm really not at all computer-savvy so, if this question is
inappropriately posted or if I need to give more information, please
let me know. If anyone has any help, though, I'd be really grateful.
I've tested my PC from time to time over the past years against
Shieldsup! on the grc.com website and it has always given an entirely
positive reading - all ports closed and in 'stealth' mode.
Recently, when I test, I get a 'failed' message and info that Ports
1032 and 1033 are open.
I have winXP home and use Zone Alarm and Kaspersky and, as far as I'm
aware, nothing has changed on the system to account for the change I've
mentioned.
Can anyone tell me:
1. what the result actually means? Am I really vulnerable?
2. what, if anything, I could do to reprotect my system (if
necessary)?
Thanks very much to anyone who takes the time to answer, particularly
with an email direct to me.
