Click Start | Run type in "services.msc" (without the quotes) and click OK.
Stop/Disable the following services:

SSDP Discovery Service
Universal Plug and Play Device Host

{to disable the service right-click and select properties, then you can set
the startup type to disabled}

Now Port 5000 should be secure :-)
