I ran netstat at command prompt because I noticed my web browsing getting
ridiculously slow. It came up with 270 connections to my computer. I know
this is not normal. I recognize the AIM, MSN, Trillian and similiar
connections. But most of the other connections established were to ports
"2119" and "http" and most were from foriegn hosts/ips (.fr, .se, .nl, .it,
etc.). I don't have a web server running and I have no clue what app or
service uses port 2119.

How do I fix this so my internet speed isn't boggled down? How do I prevent
this from happening again?

Thanks in advance

P.S. - Yes, I'm running WinXP SP2.
