I just downloaded Anti-Trojan 5.5.420, and it searches ports, registry and drives and since I'm a newbie I was just wondering how I can solve this problem. The registry and drives came up clean but when it was searching ports, it came up with this log:

Port 135 open.
Port 139 open.
Port 445 open.
Port 1025 open.
Port 1027 open.
Port 1028 open.
Port 1029 open.
Port 1830 open.
Port 5000 open. Possible trojans. Sockets de Troie, Blazer 5

I'm not sure that the program did anything and this is what caused my concern, at the end of this log it said no Trojans found on your system. I went into view all ports and this is the log I found:

135 0.0.0.0:0 SC Listening
445 0.0.0.0:0 SC Listening

If anyone is familiar with ports, please help me out, thanks in advanced!
 
I think in this case being a newbie and easy approach for you that would 1.) help you learn more and 2.) tell you if there is any applications that you are not aware trying to go to the internet is to download the free version on Zonelabs "zonealarm" This is a free firewall and a very good one. What zonealarm can do is tell you when applications and programs are trying to access the internet. You can then find that possible trojan if there is one and remove it. Also make sure you are running a good antivirus program and you keep it up to date.
Good Luck

About the list of ports above that looks normal. You can bring up a command prompt at anytime and run a netstat -an and it will show you which ports are open and listening. Zonealarm will hide these ports from the internet so when probes and scans are occuring (all the time) your computer will be invisible to them.

Thanks for recommending the product, ZomeAlarm, it's great. But just to make sure that the problem was gone, I ran Anti-Trojan 5.5.420 again with the firewall on and found the same results, and actually found another port that was causing problems. This is the log I got:

Appriciate everybody's help on this...thanks again!
 
Port 5000 is open by default on XP, due to the Universal Plug and Play service. While there are a few trojans that will run on that port, from the looks of your logs, you don't have these.
It's a good idea to shut the port down, however, and the easiest way to do this is with grc.com's free utility.
You can also manually close the port by stopping the service and uninstalling UPNP, but the Unplug and Pray program is alot easier.

 
Thank you so much Xemus, I greatly appreciate your help,...One quick question however, what about the other ports that came in red on the program, is there a way to close those programs

The unplug n' pray program was quick and easy, after I disable it, I don't need to have the program on my system or in the background to keep it disabled, do I?



Thanks again for everybody’s help including these guys: ericbrunson and glacierxx...Appreciate it...
 
I'm guessing it's not a big deal if it's not deleted, but after a search I found this file...
C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\UNPNP[1].EXE-0456743B.pf
 
I accidently investigated why this port was open yesterday and it appears that that UPNP port can be heavily exploited (computer freeze and running code). I tested it with a linux proggy, but didn't manage to freeze my PC though :)
 
On ports 1025 - 1029 goto On ports 135-136 port 135 is also exploitable -> download @ for security patch.

On port 445 - also exploitable by virusses & worms

basically it's all normal they are open on a standard config. It's not for nothing they call in Microsoft WINDOWS. there's plenty of ways to get in heh.
