Somebody is scanning your computer.
Your computer's TCP ports:
8000, 1080, 8080, and 80 have been scanned from 221.1.209.70..


My question is, how severe is this, and what could be causing it. Like a virus, spyware, some nerd who found my IP address etc..

Edit: Also is there a risk of keylogger type activity? I type in 10 different passwords a day for different things, and some of it is very important to me.

Hi and welcome. You shouldn't post at two different sites with the same question, as many of the same security folks browse more than one site, and you are just tying up unnecessary resources that could be better served helping others.

They are just trying to see what you have running. Scanning doesn't do any harm, but they maybe doing their homework preparing for an attack.

Keyloggers doesnt come into the picture here yet. If and when they have successfully invaded your machine, then they may install a keylogger.
