OT Firewalls

I have a simple set up using a desktop and @home cable service. I shut it down when not in use. While the system is on for about 5 hours a day, I think I am protected using BlackIce at a cost of $40 per year. See the following:

networkice.com

I get scanned about 5-10 times a day usually not serious. I am trusting that the scanners are being shut out per reviews in PCWeek, etc. Also I have file sharing shut off. (While I am responding, the software is now reporting that a student at Williams is doing a Teleport scan.)

I would like to hear if anyone feels I do not have adequate protection.
