Strange Server Binded to localhost:110

[jspsh]

I hope I put this on the right forum.

On my computer, localhost:110 (TCP) brings up a strange POP3 server that I did not install. It only prints out the OK READY message and stalls.

Can someone show me how I can detect which program uses this port?

You sure you don't have any kind of spam filter or AntiVirus apps installed? They often scan incoming and outgoing mail using a POP proxy listening on localhost.

fport will show you what is on a particular port, I think. Just for future reference.

Also IIRC netstat in XP has a switch that will tell you the pid/name of the process with that port open.
