Several times a day, on a new PC with WinDefend final release installed I get
these kinds of messages in the event log:

There's never any mention of an actual file, just those UDP ports. I've
searched the registry for those Scan ID numbers, thinking they were CLSID's
that would point to the offending program, but there's nothing that matches.
Is WinDefend just being overly sensitive, or is this a real threat of some
kind?
 
The real time agents are very sensitive; however, it is an issue of whether
you trust the program attempting to use the UDP port for sending/receiving
data. To see which program Windows Defender is complaiining about, you could
use Tools->Software Explorer and under Caegory select Network Connected
Programs. Go down the list of programs on the left, clicking each one to
determine who is using UDP ports 1361 and 1366.
