Were you running something at the time of the scan or not?

The same report occurs always in my computer. I am using windows and while analysing ports by comodo I found no programme using port 1050. I hope the port is made permanently open by some malicious software during some installation but I am not able to find out the same. I also instructed comodo firewall to stealth all my ports but of no use. Is the stealth setting made by router?

Is the use by a TCP, or UDP protocol? There is a big difference. it could be an internal usage.

From http://www.auditmypc.com/port-scanner.asp it says
tcp 1050 Trojans or Viruses known to use this port are: MiniCommand. please advice.............

I use Comodo Firewall, and it's stealthed, and I've only done a default install. Sounds like you might be infected.

I hope it my be the router which is at fault. my router is MT 882, but I could not much configure it. but I hope my comodo firewall must have some inbuilt feature to block a particular port. can u help me??????????????

I used homenetmagic Port mapper as advised by raymond in http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2007/07/02/port-forwarding-made-easy-with-portmapper/ to find out that smart defrag 1.20 from http://www.iobit.com/ ( the house of advance system care ) is using my port 1050. will uninsttalling the same solve my problem????????????????????
