I appreciate everyones help!

I took ac1dsp3ctrum's advice and ran adaware and the cleaner... both turned up with nothing...

and i got fport thanks to AngryBob, but cant seem to get it to work at all... but im still playin with it.

but i didnt understand xmaddness's recomendation to close the ports. I dont know how to close ports other than stop the application holding it open, and i cant figure out yet what is holding these open... is there a way to just close em?

again, thanks for your replies!
