| Webserver
Used by most webservers. When you type "http://address", you are connecting to that address via port 80, even though you don't specifically state that. A very common webserver is Apache, used by most webservers for its stability. However, if you do NOT run any web server, you may have an open proxy running on your network. Ports 80,81,8080,6588, and 3128 are commonly used for these purposes. See »www.irchelp.org for more information about open proxies. | |

| A False Report
Some users who have a firewall and go to port scans like ShieldsUp or other sites that say port 80 is open. If you don't have a server, viruses/trojans, or programs that are not opening port 80, it could be your ISP. This does not mean your ISP is spying on you. Here is the reason why your ISP shows port 80 open:
"Some ISP's block all packets going to your port 80, thus you get a stealthed reading, even if you do have a server on port 80. Some ISP's will reply from their port 80 as if they were you, thus either being seen as closed or open, depending on the reply they return. In either case, you are unable to let people connect to your port 80, if you want it or not. ISP's often specifically refuse (or charge extra) to allow you hosting a server."
Some ISP that does this is UK's Freeserve. | |

I have heard some routers with web basted configuration utilities with remote managment activated can give a false reading to the port scanner and then say you have port 80 exposed. | |

@cox.net | Re: PORT 80 a http server port
Zyxel Prestige 642ME is a ADSL modem that does not use PPOE in the firm ware.. Check your PPOE software. If not then look to see if there is a virus look for the program "Stinger" Symantec. | |

| Router configuration I have a ZyXEL Prestige 623 ADSL router that shows this port, as well as telnet and FTP, open. This is not a false reading as far as I know. They are used for configuration purposes. I wish they could be closed for remote access and left open only from inside. But my ISP won't give users the modem password. | |

| Port 80 Information
World Wide Web HTTP
HTTP is used to serve and request WWW pages. The Source computer has scanned your computer for a Web Server. Personal Web Servers, while common, are not always secure. Some Personal Web Servers can be used to gain access to files on your computer. Many Trojan/Worm attacks spread via this port (such as the infamous Code Red). The firewall is protecting you from this threat. However, if you are running a web server or are publishing web camera photos to the web and that application is not working you will need to open this port.

Dude man read above to Bloddy Templars' post top a similar question to yours. The web page you are accessing will open it's port 80, your computer , will use whatever post it feels like. Nothing to worry about. To see what ports are open on yur computer, from a DOS prompt. Type 'netstat -a -n' . It's no big deal to have ports open, they are used all the time. I don't use a firewall even, but I know my computer is secure.. | |

| http servers + port 80 Please remember for those who run webservers and have such ports as port 80 open to keep upto date with whats going on with the devlopment of your selected software this is to ensure security patches are upto date and known exploits plugged also goes for router firmware/firewalls
Running outdated server software could open your machine to malicious attackers | |

| some bad attacks You can use like »www.mydomain.com/.. and see some stuff in that directory that will attack a web server instantly so its not good to get hacked like that but most web servers including apache abyss web server xitami etc. have blocked some malcious codes which will mess up the server or see through the computer etc. | |
