help  of  msconfig   .  all  ports  were   stealth is  it  normal
that  avast  uses  1025  port

To answer the header (topic) question, many here use Kerio firewall. I use ZoneAlarm free. I have been visiting the GRC site for a few years now. In fact, I was just there last month for a Stealth! retest. With avast! running, my computer was in full stealth mode with no ports open.      

Perhaps there is some setting in the Kerio firewall you can change. I have never used Kerio so I do not really know.

Hmmm, this is interesting.
I thought that Avast alone was safe enough.
Maybe I should get a firewall too.
(I'll have a look at that Kerio one)

I suggest you do not 'start' with Kerio... It's not so easy to learn.
You can try ZoneAlarm (free) or Sygate Personal Firewall first

I use Kerio and avast, all my ports are stealth.

You can create a rule for the 1025 port in kerio.

yes...i guess zonealarm is much more dummy-proof...that's why i use it

I would suggest outpost firewall by agnitum.
