According to IEEE the port appears the port is assigned: 

Extract from IEEE
#               44322-44817 Unassigned

It is possible that a service has been started on your system.

Subject: What is this port? is it a trojan?


Hello all :)

 I have been taking a more detailed interest in my pc's security of late, and security 
for computers in general, and I am learning at quite a fast rate, although there is a 
great, great deal of information to learn out there.

 Just recently I have taken to doing regular, netstat - probes on my machine to see 
the different connections that arise and so forth.  Today I found a rather mysterious 
port with the number, 44334 and I have copied/paste the results of the netstat -an 
below for people to look at.  Is the port in question, -44334- a Trojan? it strikes me 
as a rather suspicious port and a rather large port number.  Could anyone tell me how 
I can find out what's running behind the port in question, and also what to do about 
it if it is a port.  I have run my virus software, but it did not find any viruses or 
Trojans installed on my machine, so I am at a loss as to what to do. I am also very 
limited in my security knowledge, so I am basically stuck for the necessary ideas or 
solutions on what to do in order to find out what's behind this port. Any and all help 
is greatly appreciated thanks.

Details of netstat below::
