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.
