Ive downloaded Sygate personal firewall and in the logs it says people have been scanning my computers ports. In the log port 80 is included in the port scan. Because ive set it to allow all traffic through port 80 is this a security risk for my computer??

Nope. If you're not running Abyss at the time, it will just fail to connect. If you are running Abyss, they will just get a 404. It fails to explain that 99.9% of the scans on port 80 you receive will be from automated worms scanning for Microsoft IIS vulnerabilites. You aren't running IIS so ignore it...
