If you see the green "Passed" image and all your ports have "Stealth" status then you're alright

If you really want to hammer your system you can try the "All service ports" test. There are also the File sharing and Messenger Spam tests that look for weaknesses in Windows, particularly XP.

Have a rummage around the site - lots of free utilities that help you check for and close various vulnerabilities.

All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.

Yay me!
