I did a netstat and found out the adress ik61011.ikoula.com:56458 was connected to my computer on port 1050. I don't know them and I want to close the port. How do I do that?

I just installed Zone Alarm. Everything is fine now. I didn't think ZA would do the job since I already had a firewall : McAfee desktop firewall, but ZA is obviously better.
Thx :)

You gotta get a big sheet from your local Wal-Mart and string it across the computer screen. You should be ok after that.
