port

THX Negative for the advise but i have this prob. even when i first install the firwall .....

Negative now i know about the cleaner and TC monitor but the TC active what exactly hie jub plz.....
thx again

Ok, let me get this all correct.

You install Symantec's firewall and then go to Symantec's web site and go to the threat scan page and have Symantec scan you for open ports. They report back that ports such as the ones you mentioned are open. Is that correct?

If so I would download fport run it and post the output here please.

are you running any P2P programs or any server-like programs... furthermore, the ports you mention look as if they are Ephemeral ports which leads me to look at them as being used by a server -- when you are running the scan are you closing all unnecessary programs??

i suggest not to use norton at all... there are lots of promramms that are faster,smaller and better in all other ways. norton, as a firewall is not a very good idea.

sorry about the quick double post, but i just had another thought that might help you (while i was anwsering another thread with the same type of problem) -- using windows firewall, you can close all ports and then specify the ones that you want to open (that is what we are starting to do at my work 5000 computers) and when windows xp sp2 comes out, the firewall is on by default

OK thx all of your reply ut first i like yo tell u that i have a network here so can i use windows xp firewall ....
secound i have a p2p software its kazza lite but not on this OS i am talking about
therd yes i am closing all unnecessary programs

That doesn't look too unusual.

Is Symantec telling you whether these ports are open as TCP or UDP?
