    First of all I would like to commend everyone here on these threads for the dedication to the assistance of those of us (like me) who are pretty computer illiterate.

    Now to the problem at hand. I have Norton Antivirus and Internet Security 2005 running on my computer. I performed the online "security check" to see how well I had my norton internet security set up. The scan came back with only one "at risk"- exposure to hijackers through the SSH port, port 22?
    It came back as open, and I cannot find ANYTHING in Norton that tells me how to hide the damn thing or close it. What do I do? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice, but I am not sure what I am looking for. I think I am trying to find a way to get Norton to stealth port 22 on my computer. But as I posted earlier- I am fairly computer illiterate. Port scanner? Say I find a port scanner...then what? Is there a way to get Norton to stealth the port? Or do I need additional software to act as a firewall for that port only? Seriously- I have no idea what I am doing. That is why I am here. Help!
