Lots of Open Ports?

by quinton11 . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

My computer has been really slow with regards to streams. I was told to check with Netstat and did, discovered I had 95 open ports with 22 connected. How can I tell which ones are needed and are connected to whom or what? Complete Newbie when it comes to this stuff ie: ports related to what? Which port number refers to which service. Is there a way to discover and learn this? How do I shut down ports? Am using Win 7, 64 bit. Also using F-secure. I understand that this can indicate Spyware too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
