I have disabled the DMZ which I think was enabled by my teenage son<br />
Shields Up is now showing that those ports are closed<br />

I have used 'Shields Up' to look at my computers and they are showing ports 80 and 443 as open<br />
the implication on the site is that this is a bad thing<br />
both computers access the internet through a wireless router<br />
both use windows firewall<br />
should i close these ports and if so, how?<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
