Avast and Proxomitron

I've noticed over the past few days that proxomitron is stopping
access to port 1239 by such malware as "Red Sherrif" "Bargain Buddy"
and other little gems. Can I instruct Kerio firewall to block this
port on a permanent basis, and am I likely to experience any problems
with the operation of my PC? Is it the opion of the followers of this
NG that ZA is a better firewall than Kerio?
And how are these malware programms accessing my PC in the first
place. I run a firewall, anti-virus and run spam blocking programs
and check for malware regularly. I've yet to find anything on the PC.
I run Spybot, Ad-Aware, MS antispyware, Spywareblaster. All up to
date and all configured to run full system scans.
