I had similar problem with automatic opened ports in
firewal. They were appearing for 'msmsgs'. 'Msmsgs' is
Windows Messenger, so as soon you exit it and in its
options make sure that it does not start automatically
when Windows starts, everything will be fine. Maybe it
will help you.

Thanks,

Yuri.
