When I run netstat -na, I get a number of tcp ports (19)
that are NOT associated with conventional processes that
are "listening". Most of them have numbers above
50,000. Have I been hacked? And if so, how do I
protect myself against this. I am new to XP. --
Thanks.
 
It's impossible to know with the information provided.
Are you running /any/ applications (even in the
background) when you do this?

Use netstat -ano and match the Process ID column with the
associated Process ID in Task Manager, and you'll be able
to find out what program is using those ports.
 
David,
Thanks for your response. I get the PID's from netstat,
but can't seem to obtain a PID list in the Task
Manager. I am running home edition and not familar with
how things work. Anyway, any advice would be welcome. -
