Listening issues?

Hello all,
I'm on XP Home,with msn as ISP,my ZA tells me
that the Generic Host Process for Win32 Services
is listening to port(s) TCP:3004,3005.
If shutting this service down,I can't go anywhere
with my IE,so I need to have it on,but do I
have a security issue here with this service
"listening"? What is it listening to,or for !!
Thanks for any info...

Hi,
This is normal for windows as the win32 is a critical
system file and when it says "listening" it means that it
is waiting for approved data on the port(s) it mentions.
Don't worry we(xp users)all have the same thing

Thank you Stuart....
