Use Fport to detect the proc.

Open up a command prompt. Type "telnet 127.0.0.1 21". What does the banner
say?

Hi ALL,
Could anyone help me for the similar problem. I have a PC with XP prof. A
hidden ftp process/service is running. Using "netstat -aon", I can see two
entries:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 86
TCP 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 420
The process IDs can not be found via taskmanager, tasklist and pslist.
The XP srvice manager didn't give any clue. What tools can I use to detect
the process/program and how can I kill this hidden process. How can I clean
up the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.
Alex Yan
