Win 7 Open Ports Can anyone tell me if Win 7 runs any kind of web server etc; by default?
I have port 80 and port 443 open for some reason and I'll be stuffed if I can find out why.
My Billion has a firewall which is enabled and I also use ESET Smart Security with firewall enabled, yet these 2 ports remain to be seen when testing my security with ShieldsUp
It's got me stumped.
I just found these in my firewall log, not sure if it means anything since they are LAN IP addresses:
Date: 25/01/2012
Time: 8:00:34 AM
Event: Detected ARP cache poisoning attack
Source: 192.168.1.254
Target: 192.168.1.3
Protocol: ARP
Date: 20/01/2012
Time: 1:19:59 PM
Event: Detected ARP cache poisoning attack
Source: 192.168.1.254
Target: 192.168.1.2
Protocol: ARP
The only thing I could suggest is install a copy of netlimiter 3 and you might be able to work out what programs are using the ports.

Thanks Mick,
I'll have a look for it now.
Well, got it installed and registered but I'll be buggered if I know how to use to.
In the main window (node view) any program file that has a + next to it click on the + and it will either open up a list of address that are being sent/received. If when you click on the + and it brings up the word process click on it and it will then bring up the addresses.
Hopefully you can find the one relating to the addresses being used.

You are painting a very scary picture Bob LOL

maybe I'm way off here, but would not the web browser need port 80 to be open for normal http:// and from memory port 443 is standard for https://
Yeah mate but it shouldn't be seen form outside - it should be stealth.
Go to yourself and see.
Click on ShieldsUp
Scroll down the page to "HOT SPOTS" and click the ShieldsUp!" link
The next page will be a welcome screen blah,blah,blah
Click on "proceed"
Near the bottom of the page click on "Common Ports"
Then wait for the results.
If you click on control panel -> program and features -> turn windows features on/off
Do you see a check mark next to Internet Information Services?

also run -> wf.msc will show some firewall details...
another tool you could use is TCPView

IIS is turned off.
I'll try the other tips you suggested.
No Malware and an In Depth Viris Scan says it's clean.
It's probably something simple I've overlooked.
I won't rest until I find it.
I'm not using windows firewall.
I'm using the firewall that comes with ESET Smart Security.
All my XP machines are fine it's just the one running Win 7 and it's a legit copy of Win 7.
Hi WhiteOx, have a look at the link below, not sure if this is your answer....

Thanks Guys,
I've finally found the problem.
It's my 'Western Digital TV Live Hub' media center.
Glad to hear you found the root of your problem, but if ever your concerned about the possibility of your PC or perhaps a rogue program 'Calling home', try running Just log for 5 or 10 mins then check local IP's
Whenever you feel sad, just remember, somewhere in this world is there's an idiot pulling a door that says "PUSH"

Thanks,
I've just downloaded it just in case I come across something like this again.
+1 for Wireshark. Very handy tool, everyone should use it as it can tell you everything about your nework.
