How can I block ports?

1 New Member
I have a virus scanner telling me a port is open and I have some type of trojan. I scan the entire HD and "nothing" was found. I visited the virus scan website and it only tells me how to view open/listening ports, but not how to close it.

I do not want to take any risks and I rather just close that port specially if I'm not using it.

I already did a search for port 1434 and honestly, I do not need it open. What can I do to close it, block it, disable it? - Ouh, if it helps the OS is Vista Ultimate - Let me know if you need any other info!

Thanks in advance...

Try going into the firewall on Vista. there should be a port tab where you can make exceptions or add ports. Go there.

Hi I have a question regarding the SQL Server(SQL Server 7) port 1433. Some body is trying to hack into our Windows 2000 server through port 1433. Is there a way i can close this port? I tried using a tool called Ipsecpol.exe ( Internet Protocol Security Policies Tool). But when we run netstat, it still looks like they are able to connect to the server using port 1433. Has anyone come across this problem? I would appreciate it very much...

Where do I find information on how to address and pass data to and from the serial ports and USB ports in VB. VB6 supports the serial ports easily but I see no reference to using the USB ports. VB.net literature does not provide any coverage on either the serial ports or the USB ports.

I'm trying to send some printer commands (ZPLII) to an attached USB printer using the SerialPort component. I didn't get very far at all. In fact I haven't gotten anywhere. The first problem I encountered is that a call to SerialPort.GetPortNames() returns an empty string. In other words, NO port names are returned. I'm not terribly knowledgable about ports but from the Hardware Manager I did notice that I don't have the Ports and...

I have a proprietary software on two different internal networks. on one the client-side software can access the server, and the second network, they can't. I have no real clue which ports are needed, 1. What's the best way to find out? will telnet x.x.x.x port# work? 2. Does one side (server) have to be listening on a port to be able to detect that it is open? If it doesn't listen, than requests end up no where. right? 3. For...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
