you mean open the firewall? or router.. and no its not easier to get viruses.. although if you open to many ports it will make you more open to a malicous attack (being hacked)

follow this, and it will explain how to open the ports in your router (if that was what you meant) http://forums.srcds.com/showthread.php?tid=1847

and if that wasn't what you meant, then be more specific!

for example:
if you meant a firewall, what firewall do you have, what operating system is the server runing? and well.. anything else you think MIGHT ve relevant..
