while researching on my site I found 2 entries very uncommon...they were smth like::
example.com:2082/
Similar pages

example.com:2086/
Similar pages

Few Days back I asked my Server guy to destroy Non -www of this site.

Any idea what is this all about?

Someone linked to pages on the weird port.

Google spidered it.

If you don't want them to spider it, put a robots.txt up or disallow via server access controls.

What are those pages, and do you want people to be looking at them? If those ports have private stuff, then you need to close them.

2082 is the inbound tcp port for the control panel to your website. 2086 is the inbound tcp port the the Web Host Manager, at least those are the ports that the popular CPANEL uses. Unless you see evidence of attempted hacking, you are probably okay. They would need your username and password to gain entry. It might not hurt to change your password, just to be sure. Plus, the other guy's suggestion about using robots.txt would be a good idea.
