   SVCHOST.EXE

   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.
