I did the shields up test & failed even though I have my imac firewall on stealth mode. It says that port 80 & 10 are open. I am on a wireless router with another computer. Is there some setting that I have to change or do I have to get another firewall ?? If so then what is a good one to get that won't cost me an arm & a leg.

Thanks for the help

I think Shields Up would be testing your router not your computer. The result page should show the IP address of what it's testing.

You can probably configure your router to block ports. But there's probably no harm, as long as your mac's firewall is on anyway.
