Another useful tool is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nirsoft.net\/utils\/cports.html\">Nir Sofer&#8217;s CurrPorts<\/a>, which displays the list of all open TCP and UDP ports along with information about the process that opened the port (including highlighting suspicious processes) and the ability to close unwanted TCP connections, kill the process that opened the ports, and save the information to a file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few nights back, I was sorting the pile of books, newspapers and magazines in the bedside reading pile into two more piles: &#8220;no time to read so send for recycling&#8221;; and &#8220;I really must read that&#8221;.
