open port 80

Personally I despise the free ZoneAlarm and Sygate firewalls as I find them obtrusive and mainly ineffective BUT, that's the EASIEST way to lock out port 80 with Win98.

Make sure you have ALL security updates and download a freebee copy of a Firewall from somewhere like CNET or ZDNEt and it will let you shut down port 80.

If you find that the free firewalls are more hassle than they are worth, I agree and sorry for recommending them.

Port 80 is the main used for internet access why would you want to close that port?

http 80/tcp World Wide Web HTTP
http 80/udp World Wide Web HTTP
www 80/tcp World Wide Web HTTP
www 80/udp World Wide Web HTTP
www-http 80/tcp World Wide Web HTTP
www-http 80/udp World Wide Web HTTP

I have "Webshots" on most of the computes here at work. The program pops up a small reminder window randomly. When this window pops up it minimizes the dos window that is currently open and is really anoying. I am guessing that it comes in on port 80.
