    Not on most home computers.

    This question has been asked many times before.

    This next statement only applies if your computer does not already contain a malicious file listening for inbound connections.

    If you fall into both of these categories then yes:
    *. You own a computer without service pack 2 installed
    2. Your ISP does not block incoming packets on port *** & 445

    Otherwise No

    Without calling them can I find out if if those ports are in fact blocked? If not, how can I manually block them?

    Actually, I see that a third party firewall such as Zonealarm does block incoming packets on these ports. Thanks guys, appreciate the responses.
