Getting "Unknown" entry in active ports

Hi,

I am getting this "Unknown" entry when using Active Ports and was wondering what it could be.

Could it be malware/trojan?

It seems to appear in Active Ports every now and then, not constantly.

Here's the breakdown of what Active Ports is telling me about the "Unknown" entry.



Process : Unknown

P. : 0

Local IP : 127.0.0.1

Local Port : 1150

Remote IP : 127.0.0.1

Remote Port : 1149

State : Time_Wait

Protocol : TCP

Path : Blank (nothing listed here)



Thanks very much for any insight on what this could be, and whether or not it is some kind of malware.

 

127.0.0.1 is localhost = your own computer or also referred to as loopback.
This communication is your system/process talking to itself and is not going outside or open to the outside. It is not uncommon to see this as a number of applications/processes will use localhost/loopback connections.

Thanks for the help CrazyM. I understand it better now.

 

==================================================
Protocol : TCP
Local Port : 0
Local Port Name :
Local Address : 0.0.0.0
Remote Port : 4291
Remote Port Name :
Remote Address : 0.0.0.0
State : Listening
==================================================

And what about this one, I always have this port listening, the remote port differs, is this some app using this port, it can't be no trojan I hope?

 

My bad, I was a bit too a paranoid , it's the Windows Telephony Server that's using the port.
