As I visit a webpage, there always pop-up a alert and said
something like "access to the port number given has been disabled for
security reasons"
what is wrong?

Any webpage or just one in particular? From what program is the popup
alert coming? What firewall do you have in place? It sounds like you
have malware on the computer that is trying to get out and your
firewall is stopping it, but that is just a guess since you provided
hardly any information about your system at all.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

I agree with Malke's opinion. It may be caused by some malware.

First, I hope that you can help me confirm the following things:
1. Does this happen on a specific webpage or all webpages?
2. Please send a screen shot of the error information to me at
(e-mail address removed)

To take a screen shot
---------------------
a. Press the Pr Scrn key once on the keyboard when the error message
appears.
b. Click Start, go to Run, enter MSPAINT in the open dialog box, and then
Click OK.
c. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot to the canvas.
d. From the File menu, go to Save and save it as a JPG file.
e. Send the JPG file to me as an attachment.
