    I know its been said before but I would get a firewall. Not having one is not a good idea. Yea read up and maybe close that port on your own but still get a firewall

    Do this on XP Pro:

    START -> RUN -> dcomcnfg.exe

    Click on Component Services, then right click on My Computer.
    Choose Properties
    Choose the Default properties tab
    Take the check out of: Enable Distributed COM on this computer.

    You're all set!

    I use a nice little program called TCPView 2.3 from www.sysinternals.com. It maps out the service keeping the ports open and svchost.exe is behind 135.

    Putting up a FW seems to be the logical way to help combat this. I use Proport.exe (tdupage.com) and it would tell me a host of "listening" sites and a couple of ports that were established.
    i messed up my comp to the point of formatting the C: drive and have since reinstalled everything and using the FW (I use ZA free) and not seen any more "listening" ports though i get scanned a lot.
