If it's just 'Closed', that means that your PC is 'visible' to the internet.... so if some hacker is trying to ping your IP Address on those ports, he will get a message that access is denied..... but then he knows there is a computer there to attack.

If it's 'Secure' or 'Stealthed', that means your PC pretends that it doesn't exist. The hacker tries to ping you, and your PC notices it, but doesn't respond.

I hope my answer makes sense. You can also find more info with a quick search. I also recommend the following site as it gives port scans like the original poster's link, but it also provides more helpful info, explanations, and tips to fix.

Shields Up! at Gibson Research Corporation:

I've used that site for a few years now for checking security of my pc. Hope this info helps.
 
Don't believe in this crap!

It is impossible to access to Internet with all ports being closed!

You access this website, you need port 80 to be opened.

You get E mails from your ISP server, then you need port 25 to be open, and so forth. There are few other ports required to open for general Internet access.
