WinXP Pro & Ports

Hello!

I have fresh install WinXP and i'm not runing ISS or some other server or
services, but por 25 and 110 are open, if i scan internet IP of the machine!
What must i disable/close/remove to have none port open, when i scan the
machine?

Tnx

May I suggest you to try tcpview from sysinternals.com
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/tcpview.shtml

It'll show you which proggy opens ports 25 & 110.

Listen, Pal ! You need Ports 25 an 110 for outlook express or you wont be able to
get your emails. An that goes for any other program like Outlook....

Incorrect. The mailserver you're sending mails through/retrieving your
mails from, needs those two ports open. Your computer does not.

In my experience, most Windows platforms show ports 110 and 25 open, due to
strangeness in the network implementation, even if no program exists on the
machine to use those ports. Usually however, you can't actually connect to
the machine on these 2 ports - the scanner just thinks you can.

from the command line type :

netstat -ano

get the PID of the entries for ports 25 and 110 then type

tasklist /svc -fi "pid eq X"

X = the PID you got, it will tell you whats using them ports.
