Firewall / Port security question

I have Zonealarm allready but what I am looking for is a windows program that will display all of the ports on my pc currently in use and what they are being used for, and an option to close or open the port. Simple program that does not take alot of memory up or slow down my PC. That way I can view all my used ports real time. Can anyone suggest a good program for that?

btw something that is GUI / automated type thing, not CMD > netstat -a or something, i would like it to keep refreshing and show everything all ports realtime. thanks!

 

you could try this http://majorgeeks.com/CurrPorts_d5079.html

you could also check networking for other options http://majorgeeks.com/downloads39.html

 

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!! CurrPorts rocks!

Thank you!!

What do you recommend for the ports that have unknown programs running, i notice some look like they are running from my local router 192.168.x.x.. and some local host ports that all show as unknown.

How do I make this program start when ever my XP boots in the msconfig?

 

check this link for the unknown ports. http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

For the start up at boot, you need to place a short cut for the program in the Startup folder located - C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Do that instead of msconfig.

Hope this helps.
