There's no way to answer this question without knowing what ports were
found. Running fport or vision from www.foundstone.com/knowledge may in
some cases help you figure out which services or programs to stop or
reconfigure. You can also search www.google.com and
www.google.com/advanced_group_search as a lot of people ask this question.
