Also, unless you need the built in web server to access the smarterstats webservices for some reason, you don't need to run the smarterstats webserver. Set the directory permissions and run it under IIS.

Well, most companies block all inbound traffic, then allow exceptions as needed. As far as I can tell, there's been one well-known trojan that listens on this port, but the port isn't the installation vector for the trojan anyway - it's how the attacker controls the trojan once it's installed. I've never heard of any network administrators blocking TCP/9999 specifically as a result.
