It is always a good idea to keep an open eye on ports listening on your computer. The easiest method to do that is to install Nmap ( sudo apt-get install nmap ), and run sudo nmap localhost soon after installation. That should tell you what ports are open out of the box. Run Nmap often and if you see a new entry in the list of open ports that you are not familiar with, try to access it from a browser ( localhost:XYZ, where XYZ is the port number). If that does not tell you anything useful, consult Wikipedia's List of TCP and UDP port numbers .

VMWare is a deep install - means it has many components that interface with the system very closely. So when it comes time to uninstall it, we find ourselves in a flux. There is a script called vmware-uninstall that you can use which will help you get the job done. $sudo vmware-uninstall  After we run this script it shows that it's deprecated (in version VMWare Workstation 5.0.1) and you should use vmware-installer --uninstall-product product-name . So we try it. $sudo vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-workstation where vmware-workstation is the product I have installed here. Hmmm, this did the job for me, but I remember another time when this failed for me. In such circumstances we can manually uninstall a VMWare Product.
