I have two svchost processes with PID's 356 and 358.
My concern is with PID 8 "System", listening on 1025.

I don't think Port 1025 is running on my Internet IP, its on 0.0.0.0.
I'm not sure I follow... I thought when netstat reports "Local Address
0.0.0.0:1025" as "Listening" to "Foreign Address 0.0.0.0:0" it means
the local computer is ready to accept connection attempts to port 1025
on any adapter (ppp,ethernet,modem,etc.) from ANY remote host.
e.g.
c:\>netstat -an
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 0.0.0.0:1025 0.0.0.0:0 Listening
Are you saying 0.0.0.0 is reserved for system use and no remote host
can connect to it?
