I have a desktop PC running Win ME and Kerio personal firewall 2.1.5 I have
setup all the rules I need and they all seem to be doing their job. As I
knew
they were working I saved the rules to disk and then imported them onto my
laptop PC. My laptop PC runs Win XP Pro.
Now when I try to send e-mail from Outlook Express it needs Port 1027 adding
to the list of ports. I use Outlook Express on my desktop and it didn't need
this port. The only difference is the firewall used. On desktop I use AVG
and Norton on laptop.

Why would this port be needed on my laptop but not on my desktop? Could it
be to do with Norton Anti-Virus

Could I have a virus, worm or Trojan or is this normal?

I hope someone can help and I appreciate any help given.

Thanks!!
