You don't have a personal firewall installed 
To stop it:
Right click My Computer, Choose "Manage"
In the tree, open "Services and Applications"
Click Services
Find the "Messenger" service
Double click It
Click Stop
Change the Startup Type to "Disabled"
Click OK
That's sorted for now but you need to get a firewall installed...
