I did a security scan from Symantrec's Web site and it found one of my ports
"open". How do I "close" it, or put it in stelth mode like the rest?
 
Are you using a firewall?? If so maybe it is misconfigured. A firewall will block
access to ports from unwanted networks/computers. To close a port you need to disable
the associated service/application. Running Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer can
help you determine if there are unneeded services running. --- Steve

what service is using a port.
