Solved: Sygate shows someone scanning this computer

[da Prince]

Hi

Someone/thing has been scanning this computer yesterday and today, as shown by Sygate Firewall.
The message:
Somebody is scanning your computer.
Your computer's UDP ports:
1027, 2, 1032, and 1035 have been scanned from 61.152.158.125..


I did a "back trace" and this is what it found:

Is this safe or what? If it is safe, is there something I can check/uncheck so that I don't keep getting the pop up warning from Sygate? I am fairly computer illerate, so please respond in easy to understand language.

Thanks very much in advance

Hey Matt!

How can you say you're computer illiterate after all we went through?

Do NOT allow that portscan access.

Unfortunately, I don't use Sygate so I'm not familiar with the settings but there should be a setting somewhere that you can tell it to block these things without alerting you so it can do its job quietly.

Hey Cookiegal

Umm yeah Thank you for answering
I'm still learning basic stuff though
I think it's just telling me something/one is trying to have a look. I don't do anything. I think I will leave it alone, until Mom has a look in a day or so.
I did do all the Shields Up tests this morning, and passed them, so I think we're OK I'll mark this solved for now.

Is it hot where you are? We're having record temps of like 43C with the humidex. I wish we had air conditioning, but I'm going to the beach later, today

Take care and have a very nice weekend.

Portscans happen all the time. They are looking for ports that are open to load their nasty stuff.

It is really hot here too. Thank goodness for A/C in the house, in the car, at work.... now if I could only get A/C outside.

LOL yeah...Mom sometimes wears one of those goofy hats with a mini fan on the front so she can work in the garden for more than 10 minutes at a time. She looks pretty silly, but at least she's having some fun

See you later, Cookiegal and thanks again

Matt

You're welcome Matt and give my best to Mom.
