Open Ports

I have a program called Anti-Trojan and when I used the portscan to detect open troja ports, it found a possible trojan port open. I checked netstat and it said it was connected to 127.0.0.1, which from what I understand is local ports. can anyone gove me more info on this?

Typically, proxy programs, such as pop-up & ad killers use this.

well that was the ip, the port that said was a possible trojan port was 1042 I think, and the trojan was called Blah 1 .01 or something

That IP is a loopback address and is usually pinged to verify tcp/ip is functioning. There are some trojans that use port 1042 but it's not referencing an external ip address outside of the local host.
