Test your open ports here.

Close them with ZoneAlarm.

if you want to check them on your own,
open a command prompt and do a netstat -a

thanks for the replies.

Is there a site that lists all commonly exploited ports? I'm sitting behind a firewall with no external ports open but do see some ports are actively listening.
