I tried the 1st test twice just to be sure. 
- Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL
STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port
connection attempts to be answered with a success or
refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect
to a nonexistent computer results in no response of
either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN
NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents
advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A
machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to
Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.
- Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer
have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows
networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from
Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY
SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal
NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.

Common ports probe
Solicited TCP Packets: PASSED - No TCP packets were
received from your system as a direct result of our
attempts to elicit some response from any of the ports
listed below - they are all either fully stealthed or
blocked by your ISP. However . . .
Unsolicited Packets: PASSED - No Internet packets of any
sort were received from your system as a side-effect of
our attempts to elicit some response from any of the
ports listed above. Some questionable personal security
systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-
probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your
system remained wisely silent. (Except for the fact that
not all of its ports are completely stealthed as shown
below.)
Ping Reply: RECEIVED (FAILED) - Your system REPLIED to
our Ping (ICMP Echo) requests, making it visible on the
Internet. Most personal firewalls can be configured to
block, drop, and ignore such ping requests in order to
better hide systems from hackers. This is highly
recommended since "Ping" is among the oldest and most
common methods used to locate systems prior to further
exploitation.
(I never did like Pings. I like Big Bertha's ... go John
Daly!)

Ports 0-5000 all said this:
0 <nil> Stealth There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a
port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address!
....
5000 UPnP Stealth There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a
port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address!

Ok. How does one get rid of pings? Thanks, Cynthia -
