how to close ports? (not just block them)
Hello,
I am running windows 7 ultimate x64
after booting the pc and without visiting any website when I scan my machine localhost using command nmap -sT -O localhost
it shows the following open ports
135/tcp open msrpc
445/tcp open microsof
1025/tcp open NFS-or-I
1026/tcp open LSA-or-n
1027/tcp open IIS
1028/tcp open unknown
1029/tcp open ms-lsa
5357/tcp open wsdapi
6646/tcp open unknown
no big deal because these are all blocked to the internet with mcafee firewall but still I would like to close them for ever!
I understand 135 and 445 are usually open and I dont mind that but how about the other ports? how can I permanently close them? not just block them with the firewall?
strange thing is I see port 1027 says its IIS (internet information services) but IIS is disabled.
Thanks
