if an anti trojan detects open ports, do you format and reinstal? or do you close the ports?

close the ports
but then new ports might open
and then even after the reinstall you might have some viruses present

lol, ports are automatically open , doesnt mean theyre under threat just means there is a potential threat, when you reinstal ports still get open

so it's natural that when you close two open trojan ports, another 2 open (that weren't open before)?

and it's normal to have a virus present straight after a clean windows install?

lol, no, coincidence thats all, just close them again, obviously theres some associated process...perhaps not trojan related

what, so after you close all unnecessary programs and don't open new ones?
