Read an article today from techspot.com that linked to an interesting article on USA today regarding firewalls - apparently 67% of people dont use them.

if you want to check and see what ports, exploits and vulnerabilities your PC is displaying to all the script kiddies with portscanners in the world - you can get a free check and analysis report done using the "shields up" utility at http://www.grc.com

Also has some handy info about firewalls - whats good (zone alarm) and whats not (blackice defender) and goes into some detail about why.
