the Open ports tab (see Figure 108). It lists the port number, data transfer
protocol, name of the application that uses the port, and how long the port has
been open for each port.

This information may be useful during virus outbreaks and network attacks if you
know exactly which port is vulnerable. You can find out whether that port is open
on your computer and take the necessary steps to protect your computer (for
example, enabling Intrusion Detection System, closing the vulnerable port, or
creating a rule for it).
