Do you by chance use Tiny Personal Firewall? I googled port 44334 and there were quite a few hits saying that its the firewall that uses that port.

Hello all :) I have been taking a more detailed interest in my pc's security of late, and security for computers in general, and I am learning at quite a fast rate, although there is a great, great deal of information to learn out there. Just recently I have taken to doing regular, netstat - probes on my machine to see the different connections that arise and so forth. Today I found a rather mysterious port with the number, 44334 and I have copied/paste the results of the netstat -an below for people to look at. Is the port in question, -44334- a Trojan? it strikes me as a rather suspicious port and a rather large port number. Could anyone tell me how I can find out what's running behind the port in question, and also what to do about it if it is a port. I have run my virus software, but it did not find any viruses or Trojans installed on my machine, so I am at a loss as to what to do. I am also very limited in my security knowledge, so I am basically stuck for the necessary ideas or solutions on what to do in order to find out what's behind this port. Any and all help is greatly appreciated thanks.
