In what situation does the warning message pop up?  Some web sites have pop-up windows that give warnings about similar things - all of which I ignore, since I'm behind a firewall....

If you really have a port open, follow advice above.

To check for open ports, take a look at www.insecure.org and you may find that nmap is something you cold try.
