Guest Bolt_Action Posted August 3, 2014 ID:861912 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi can someone tell me what is static:4003 and why explorer.exe is connecting to it? Also is this a sign of a malware infection? I tried google but no luck. I heard that Windows 8 use explorer to phone home but I'm still not sure what it's doing. If someone could help me that would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted August 3, 2014 ID:861917 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Insufficient data. If it is TCP Port 4003 is this an OUTBOUND or INBOUND communication or is the a case of LISTENING at TCP port 4003 ?Additionally it is not the name of a file that is pertinent but the fully qualified name and path to the file that is pertinent. c:\windows\explorer.exe is legitimatec:\windows\com server\explorer.exe is NOT legitimate Instead of a command line utility, use a GUI utilityTCPView or CurrPorts Then get a screen capture showing this TCP port usage, and as much surrounding this as possible, and attach the JPEG to your reply.
