Just make sure you check the TOS for your ISP and the friend that helps you with this. Portscans can and often are considered "evil".

Just an FYI.

    The PC I'm on is not part of a network, so any ports that are left open (which might cause security issues) I am not aware of. Also, being on a Win98 platform, I know there are alot of security bugs that need patching (I would rather be on Linux, but my E-Card is to outdated... and drivers didn't help much). I'll also talk to a few friends and check. I don't know to many computer type people who would trust a port scan on their own system, let alone know what a port is. Also, thanks for the extra tips.
