Re: checking open ports

go to command prompt and run following command

netstat -v

This will show up all active connections with port No.
even if so many ports are open, no need to worry unless the computer is affected.

Good Luck,
Devendra.

My question is, is there a site that can check my open ports? and how can I find out what is using these open ports?

Hi
I tried following your advice.
As soon as I enter the command and click OK, a small DOS window appreas for a second then closes by itself without me being able to read anything in it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Abed,

First you need to type cmd in the Run box then Netstat -v in the DOS
window that appears.

Try:
netstat -v/p (the forward slash P is to pause the screen)
