Please, how do I do this??

Set a rule on your firewall to block incoming TCP/UDP traffic to the open ports. If you are confused, read your firewall's documentation on setting rules. There really isn't much need to worry from what I can tell.
As for your packet activity, that's the number of packets you have sent and received since you first came online. The longer you stay online and the more network-based programs you run (p2p, instant messengers, spyware removal programs, software updates, etc.), the higher the send/recieve count will be. You should see an icon of two little computer monitors on your taskbar. If you doubleclick it, then it will give you the duration of how long you have been online. What does the duration say?
