| 472890 | 2006-07-22 23:54:00 | Hi, I ran Symantec's online security weakness thinge and it came back with some port weaknesses. I was just wondering if someone has some good freeware software that can block the ports? Thanks, ~Matt :-) |

| 472891 | 2006-07-23 00:50:00 | Any decent firewall will do it. Try Zonealarm or Kerio - both free. | Greg (193) | ||
| 472892 | 2006-07-23 00:55:00 | Yep, I've got Zone Alarm free edition but how do I customize it - to like block the certain ports? ~Matt :-) |

| 472893 | 2006-07-23 01:07:00 | And what ports are these? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 472894 | 2006-07-23 01:07:00 | Right-click the ZA icon in the Task Notification area, select Restore Zonealarm Control Centre. Click on the Firewall tab on the left-hand side. Under Internet Zone Activity move the slider to High. Then re-test at Symantec's site or www.grc.com. | Greg (193) | ||
| 472895 | 2006-07-23 01:25:00 | Today my trial of Zone Alarm Pro just finished and now I don't think its running when every I try to open it from the start menu it just puts up a screen saying its expired and then I click on revert to Zone Alarm it puts up a screen with bars and then it just all vanishes and it isn't in the taskbar. I'm not too sure what ports it said was open. I can run it again if you want. ~Matt :-) |

| 472896 | 2006-07-23 01:47:00 | Try uninstalling and reinstalling it. | Greg (193) | ||
| 472897 | 2006-07-23 02:04:00 | Thanks. ~Matt :-) |

| 472898 | 2006-07-23 07:01:00 | It says that there are like no ports that are open or something on that other test site. ~Matt :-) |
