Not sure about the time_wait forever thing. It may be that the app is
forgetting to close the socket.

Searching google will probably give better descriptions for the protocols
than I can give.

Alg.exe supports the windows firewall and ICS.

ccApp is not part of Windows as far as I know.

You will still be using NetBIOS locally even if you aren't using it over the
network.

I wouldn't worry too much about the ports as long as the owning process is
legit. Running the firewall should provide adequate protection.
