I just ran a
Security Risk Scan with a NetBIOS Availability Scan and got this:


Scan Results:
WARNING!! The scan was able to make a connection with your computer. This means that you could potentially be vulnerable to attack by malicious people who gain access to your computer and can potentially view, copy, delete, or modify data on your computer.

To Fix This Problem:

Install a personal firewall on your computer
If you have a firewall installed on your computer it may not be properly configured to make you computer invisible on the Internet
Internet connections to your computer are made through ports. To learn more about the status of ports on your computer, see: Network Vulnerability port status

And I had two vulnerabile ports..

Also my network adapter address is accesable if that means anything?

Im getting a firewall now if that helps.
