I have noticed for a long time when I run Bitdefender 60 Second Virus
Scanner that under the Heading - Processes Listening on Open Ports that
I see a entry in it for my XP computer but not on the Vista computer.

On the XP box it has a PID Number for SVCHOST.EXE on Port 135 (RPC).

In my mind I am thinking that Port 135 is a NO NO per GRC.COM .
I just checked and Shields Up! shows Port 135 is Closed.
I ran Shields Up! last week and all Ports were Stealth.
I will Restart this pc and run Shields Up! again to see what another
report shows.

After the Restart Shields UP! still shows Port 135 is Closed.

Should I be concerned that I see this Port and another two Ports being
Closed in the Shields Up! scan?  Thanks in advance.
