You're wondering if the open UDP ports mean your system is insecure. It's natural to feel that way, but it depends on what you're doing and how you manage those ports. Keep an eye on them, but don't panic unless you're handling sensitive data or running critical services.

Indicates active listening on specific ports, probably NETBIOS via WINS. Check if those ports are open on your router or if a compromised device is exploiting them. Otherwise, it's likely safe.

Ensure your router’s firewall isn’t fully open and use a reliable firewall on your personal device (Windows built-in works). For extra peace of mind, consider using GRC’s SheildsUp online port scan.
