firewallport:HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List\\1313:UDP

If Windows Defender Real-Time Protection report returns this string:

"
Path Found: firewallport:HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List\\1313:UDP"

This is a potential security risk. Although protocol TCP port 1313 is flagged as a virus, it doesn't necessarily mean that a virus is currently using port 1313, but does mean that a Trojan or Virus has used this port in the past to communicate with your computer.



Also if you get the string: "Path Found: firewallport:HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List\\1458:UDP"


This should be a concern too, as Port 1458 has known security vulnerabilities, because this port is commonly used by Trojans and viruses (for remote code execution).
