format c:\ helps much
Nothing unusual... There are millions of zombie/server computers portscanning every ip one after an other again and again... A few years back (I suppose it has gotten worse now, as it usually does) you would get portscanned every 15min or something like that (according to F-Secure guys, dig it up somewhere if you feel like it)... It's not bad, but I suggest not using normal ports, which should be pretty common notice... I hope :)
i see andrew on your xfire list :D
Do this: Grab a sandwich, grab a coffee, take the last episode of How I met your mother and chill out

kk, I'm not gona be as retarded as the rest of this site. The message means that someone is checking out if there are any ports open and if it's open it probably also checks what services that is running there. (For example http-server, ftp-server etc) and looking for vunerable server-daemons. Don't worry its normal behaviour.
As Rafiki said it's your router or another computer at your network which does the scan.
Why I don't know, these things are in 99% of the cases started by a human and is not a normal behaviour of a router.

As long as SteelSecurity detects it and bans the IP you don't have to worry.
192.168.0.1 = router address most of the time :D
agree

nothing to worry
