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.
