I've got "Unknown" processes and would like to know what they could be. *Here is an export of my log...

Thanks. *I have no idea if there is anything here I should be concerned about...

The port 8080 that is listed numerous times is usually opened by a proxy service of some kind. *Are you using a proxy or a program like Proxomitron?

Port 110 is usually your e-mail client such as Outlook or Outlook Express. *Do you have it open?

Poet 80 is usually your browser such as IE or Opera. *Do you have it open?

I am not sure about port 3031. *Maybe someone else can help on this one.

More than likely these are nothing to worry about.

HTH a little bit,
Kent

I use Web Washer. *That might be using port 8080.
I also use IE and Outlook, so those make sense.

As for the others, I'm clueless. * :)

Thanks.

I checked on port 3031 and a trojan called RAT.MicroSpy uses that port. *I would definitely scan your system with a good trojan scanner. *If you do not have one, I would recommend you to DL the trial v©†E3(Z@¸°en do a complete system scan.

I do not know if you use a FW or not, but I use and recommend KerioPFW. One it is free and then something else it does is map all open/listening ports back to the process that has them open. *I have never had a port being seen as open or closed, just stealth using this product. *It is simple but very effective.

HTH.

Thanks.

I"m using Zone Alarm Standard for a Firewall and will be switching to ZA Pro v 2.6x either today or tomorrow. *I will be sure to block port 3031
