Hi, rick . You just sent a log file. Which program did you use to get this log.
                 Normally windows firewall settings need no modification, as modification would result in some thing wanted things get blocked.
                      Sheilds up is the site , where you could check all the security related problems. It is free. Go there check common ports test , upnp test and sharing text etc. It is free and any vulnerability would be shown . You could review. I would advise not to use any third party firewalls, which would slow your computer performance.
                        There is a network tool in avast , you could check any seepage of information from this scan . It scans the pc as well as router.
                           As system has uac always popping you to allow, i do not think any change in firewall settings. Your log could not be deciphered easily by other than the program makers, who has done that program.
The Bottom line is "Check your hardware first if it supports the task you try".
