I recently tried to run a java based web application server and found that NvNetworkService.exe program (using Essential NetTools) product that Nividia's service is listening on TCP/IP port 9990. Why is Nivida runing software that listens on a port and how many other programs are listening rather than initiating connections outside my desktop.
But why didn't or why doesn't Norton Internet security let me know what programs are listening on my ports. I now useEssential NetTools to get this information but I would have thought Norton would include this
I will be checking with Nvidia as well but I am disapointed that Norton Internet Security failed to be aware of the port listening
