So you run servers on the well known ports for ftp, smtp, pop3 and
imap.

Can someone comment on which one to try, before I buy, that will
close these ports

Stop running the above servers.

or at least stealth them?

steath is technical nonsense.

Actually i am not running any servers.

Actually, since those ports are open, you *are* running servers there.

I just upgraded to XP pro after 5 years with win 2K and I am trying to
locate what XP is running on these ports.

netstat -anob
