Port 14938-14999 Unassigned from http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

You might want to check some of the antivirus companys web site and see if any of the known worms and virus are using that port for a call back or something.

hey thanks alot for the info

wow a virus huh?
sounds like i might have made somebody mad
thx again for replying so fast

I'll give it my best shot. You may try updating and running a full system anti-virus scan. Also, try running Ad-Aware(www.lavasoftusa.com), and Spybot: Search and Destroy (www.download.com). Perhaps a Virus or some piece of Spyware is giving some server your IP and it's trying to send you something or scan your computer for something? It'd be my best guess if it's been going on for several weeks because your IP changes every time you go online. (I'm assuming you have a dymamic IP, most do, you didn't mention in your post that I saw.) Anyways, try those, and let us know the results! Good luck.

Possible, although I'd say unlikely. 95% of viruii are coded to spread themselves through e-mail and various means. Opened any attachments from unknown people just before the problem started? If it's not a virus, but Spyware, you can get that from just browsing the Internet, websites, and installing *some* free programs. You get it worst when browsing with Internet Explorer, generally. Since I've began using Mozilla I now get 90% less Spyware.

ive often used the trojan libary here, I hate blackcode with a passion but there network tools and trojan libary are quite useful,

http://www.blackcode.com/trojans/

it allows you to find information about trojans either by searching for port number of listing them in a alphabetical order, you want to look by port number.

the game Battlefield by electronic-arts appears to run on that port, also when i searched google i found something about blaster and how its activity is blocked on port 135 and it was modifyed to run on the port you suggest, however iver never heard of this so can say i believe its authecitiy.
