10,506 PointsNo I don't have Skype on! is there any other software that uses port 80?

10,506 PointsLogan R, I still can find files remaining from Skype after I uninstalled it, is it might be because of that? should I remove all the files for Skype?
Logan R
22,989 PointsNo, it is only if skype is on. The files don't actually do anything.

39,199 PointsYou are going to need to do some detective work.
Easiest way to do this is to open up powershell and run this command.
netstat -abn | Select-String "listening" -Context 0,1
That will list the name of every program that has a port open for listening on your computer. There will probably be a lot of output, if you can't make heads or tails of it you can post it to a gist and link it here.
