[Malvern] AOL spyware ?

[Geoff Bagley]

I  have never used the ISP AOL, though a few of my friends use it.

I find (using nmap) that I have a TCP port 5190 on my firewall/router.
When I try to get rid of it, it pleads "belongs to another application",
or words to that effect.

How might it have got there,  and how do I find out about it ?
I have wireshark (once ethereal), and nmap.

It appears to be associated with aol messenger - a chat-room thing.
I have never used a chat room.

Any suggestions please ?

Geoff.
