How do I stop messages from popping up in windowsxp?

[djw500]

Just started using windowsxp and keep getting messages
popping up warning me my pc is open to attackers, hackers
etc...and that this is a feature of windowsxp.To get rid
of these messages I should check out the website of the
people sending me tthe messages. How do I block these
messages?

No but the ports are still open. You need a firewall AS WELL.
