    I have port tcp 990 open in windows 7 is using sftp protocol


    I don't know if is a service that I can disable on windows or a malware, troyan or virus but none of my 2 antimalwares detected anything wrong I think, I checked full scan of my computer a month ago but don't know if this appeared after, in any case I'd like to find more info about it before just disabling it.

    I downloaded filezilla client to access my own ftps server and I get:
    Status: Resolving address of localhost
    Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:990...
    Status: Connection established, initializing TLS...
    Error: Could not connect to server


    on netstat -abn I get:
    TCP 0.0.0.0:990 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
    WcesComm
    [svchost.exe]

    TCP [::]:990 [::]:0 LISTENING
    WcesComm
    [svchost.exe]

    can someone tell me what accounts (including passwords) are on my pc for this clandestine ftps server, and how to disable it? also tell me how it got there?

    I did a google search on WcesComm and my guess is its to sync your phone or some other device.

    Microsoft ActiveSync Connection Manager. ActiveSync is Microsoft's free Synchronization manager which enables you to synchronize your Windows CE based handheld/palm-size PC with your desktop PC. You can synchronize documents but also e-mail and calendaring items. WCESCOMM starts whenever the PC boots up and runs in the background in the System Tray until it detects that a Pocket PC has been connected to your PC, at which points it shows up to begin the synchronization process.
