So script 11157 is for Trojans.  "An unknown service runs on this port. 
It is sometimes opened by Trojan horses.  Unless you know for sure what 
is behind it, you'd better  check your system."

So, the better solution would be to fingerprint the port better, 
identifying OfficeScan as what is running, and not alert on it if it 
_is_ a valid app?

None of the other ports appear to list the valid services, neither 
should this one.
