Avast will introduce the latest version of its Mac security suite as early as tomorrow, just a few weeks after Flashback, the third major OS X security scare in a year.
When I created my Open Port 7547 Alert thread, I posted a partial copy of the report created by the WiFi Inspector online, which contained the following:- Normal Topic Hot Topic (More than 15 replies) Very Hot Topic (More than 25 replies) Locked Topic Sticky Topic Poll.
- Mac Tip #3 — Set your browser’s security settings Whether you are using Safari or something else, open up Preferences and find the tab(s) for security and privacy. Read through your options, and select all that turn off website tracking.

Open ports reachable from address: 87.113.xx.xxx
Initially, I never partially blanked out the address but a BC Moderator was good enough to do so.
Although, it appears this address is not actually my IP address.
Since the Open port issue first occured; on different dates, I carried out a further two WiFi Inspections and on each screenshot copy of the reports, the 'Open port reachable from address' is different.

However, within the reports my actual IP address is displayed (I only noticed this today and its never been published online) and it's the same IP address on all three reportsWhen I contacted my ISP (plusnet) regarding the Open port issue, they advised I reset and power off my Router for 10 mins to acquire a new IP address; also suggesting I do this periodically to reset the IP address.

So, it appears by powering off & resetting my Router, it never actually provided a new IP address; and the Router has been reset & powered off a few times since and the IP address remains the same.
Also, what are the risk of posting the complete 'Open port address' online and how can this address be used ?
