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.

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::
