A frinend of mine is using Norton Firewall on his Mac.
At machine boot he gets a message saying something about "kextload wanting to use port 445" and then another one for port 139.

I told him that it is probably nothing he should worry about (only because I could not find anything about this on the net)...what do you guys think?
Norton's website is not much of help in this issue.

Thanks,

t

445 is SMB
139 is NetBIOS

Both could be safe, but it's never 100%
