Ive been having a lot of attacks that my sygate firewall has blocked (at least i think it has) but ive been running some online port scan tests and many of the tests said i am not protected well and a hacker could gain access to my pc easy.

Here is one of the tests i done..

I am with NTL Broadband and I am with the 750k package. I have a NTL Home external cable modem 200. My friends who are all in the states and one is from holland all have routers which they say are basically hardware firewalls.

I have some security issues and I need to know do i need a router to fix these issues? Can NTL help me at all?
