Shutdown all start up programs, reboot and immediately run netstat again, before anything else and see what you have there.
Are you using file and print sharing? I don't think it's anything to worry about, but if your not using file and print sharing we should close your 137,138, and 139 ports.

You have File & Print Sharing enabled. That is OK, but you must go in to Network properties and locate the TCP\IP protocol that is for your Network adapter. Then unbind TCP\IP from everything. You will get a prompt that it's incomplete, but that's OK, just "ok"out of the dialog. Then use NetBeui as the service for File & Print Sharing.

If your ports read stealthed then you are ok. Those ports are used for windows networking and will always show listening on a networked MS OS. Even with a stealth firewall, those ports will show as listening when you use netstat. ZA just doesn't let any requests through the door - they never reach your machine.

:p Maybe you should put the needle down, lay off the coffee, or up your medication. The virus that you picked up at those midget porn sites cannot be removed anyway - even with fdisk... :rotfl: You can shave you palms to try and cover your tracks, but fdisk doesn't lie.

Have fun,
