On my XP Pro pc, I have both zone alarm and internet connection firewall
running. In addition, my laptop is behind a router (hardware firewall).

Recently I ran an online scan of all my ports. Port 80 showed up as open.
How do I go about closing it and if I do, what functionality would I lose?

Also, I always thought that if I was behind a router, no one would be able
to access my pcs since they are not directly connected to the net, so I
don't understand how this online test could have connected to my pc and
shown port 80 as open.
