What tool are you wanting to use to close the ports?
A real firewall would not permit use of those ports by default, but you've not provided any information that would permit an answer to your question.
Thx. I have OutPost Firewall 3.0 Port Explorer shows me opened some ports above 49152 as REMOTE (for instance port 57860, 57862, 57874). Have I any danger from it?
Sorry, never used Outpost, can't say for sure.
In the main interface Outpost should show you a list of open ports and which programs are using them. Perhaps you have some program connecting out to those ports? Otherwise Outpost ought to be blocking anything inbound by default.
Outpost by default does not allow those ports from inbound to outbound and vice versa. Thier must be something running on your machine which is connecting web on those ports soe.g.*.exe,*.dll
Check out in task manager their is some weired process running, may be a hacked system application lie srv32.exe is running
CK-NET
OMN. Sincere condolences.
Yours, VB.
Instead of, Outpost installs a system service which opens windows. And that is a design flaw of Outpost, which breaches security.
