Hi,

I downloaded IPCScan just to see what it did, and when I d/led it, Norton gave me an antivirus warning, but I ignored it because I assumed it just says that so you know when remote users load it onto your computer or something.

Anyways, I decided I'd rather not keep the program, so I deleted it. However, when I do a "netstat -a" in the command prompt, it gives me this:

This seems like WAY too many ports to be open (the 6666 and 6667 are IRC, and the 5190 is AIM).

I deleted the program, but how do I clear up all these ports n stuff?

Thanks very much!

Hmm,

Thanks for the link, but the problem is that I don't understand what the ports are being used for, so I don't know what to close and what to keep open. Even then, I'm not too good w/all this stuff, though I'm sure I could figure it out if i read that page enough. Anyways...I'm completely at a loss as to what to do.

Thanks,

Rohan
