New PC Default Open Ports
I just bought a new Lenovo W520. I was testing the Norton Firewall and running port scans against the machine. I noticed some open ports so I did a recovery to factory condition. I ran the port scan again and see a number of ports (25, 80, 110, 8080 - if memory serves correct). I telnet to the ports and they respond but the is no visiable text so it is difficult to figure out what is running. I know what these ports are typically used for, but since it is a factory re-install and I haven't installed any software that would run these services, I am at a loss. I've tried using Tcpview and other tools to view the open ports via Windows 7, but I don't see those ports listening. I am wondering if there are some Lenovo tools/utilities that use these ports? I may just be paranoid
Thanks!
