What is Port 80?
The list of 'ports' in your firewall are a list of internet connection ports that are 'blocked'. Port 80 is named as being a HTTP port, and defines the way web browsers communicate (client outgoing requests and incoming host reactions) with host servers on the WWW.
Your firewall settings automatically block all ports on setting up. Port 80 is the most commonly used port for websites where interaction is needed between your computer and the web site's server. Most web sites with any amount of interaction need port 80 to be open.
We have found no evidence that removing this particular port creates danger when you have the rest of your security system set up.
You can find out more about ports by searching for 'port' in your firewall's help section.
we are talking about a firewall correct, norton firewall? a port just maps network information to a process. ports can be in a open state, in use or closed state, not in use.
a port that is open would have a application listening on it, it could be your web browser a e-mail client, a p2p app, or in the case of malware a trojan. when you allow programs etc access to the network they will be using a port, allowing the program will allow the port. maybe you are trying to do port forwarding behind a router? if so your best bet would be the routers manual or website and also the norton website for info about the firewall itself.
