You need to read the help instructions for Zone Alarm carefully. Any ports that show up in PortScan, you need to identify those services and evaluate whether a) they should be running and b) whether they're secure. Because port 21 didn't yield results against your IP, you're probably not running an FTP server on port 21. It is not normal for a PC workstation to have ports 25 and 110 open, as these mail services usually aren't ran on a PC workstation. Are you running Exchange Server or some other type of mail server? If port 139 yields results against your IP, you're probably running File Sharing. You need to try NetBrute to see if you've set this up securely. It sounds like you need to read to get a basic understanding of TCP/IP. Try the following link.
