Simple Security by Evaluating Open Ports
A simple but effective procedure for evaluating security on your computer is to check what sites it’s connecting to, or what sites are connecting to it. Most critical malware nowadays turn computers into zombies for botnets — typically zombified hosts will connect to a central server using IRC. Or it could be that you’re inadvertently running a program that’s listening for Internet requests. In any case, it’s good to check these connections.
In TCP/IP, connections happen by way of ports. A port is a number that uniquely identifies a connection. Some ports are well-known and usually identified with a service, e.g. port 80 for HTTP requests.
