Someone trying to hack my computer? what does this mean (pic)
 
Just took a screenshot of this, it has happened maybe 5 times now in the past month. Should I be concerned and what else should I do to protect myself?

I don't know a lot about this kind of stuff, but I go here sometimes for technical problems.

The only way for someone to access your computer by this means is if you actually have the Netbus trojan on your computer. I suggest first doing a virus/trojan scan to find out.

What I personally think is happening here is that people out there are just randomly scanning blocks of IP addresses on the Netbus port to find someone with it installed. I highly doubt anyone is directly targeting your computer, but is rather just actively scanning a large range. I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

This is a typical IP scanning. Ignore.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the Zodat worm just trying to see if it can hit the IP of your machine. You can pretty much be port scanned for all open tcp/ip ports on your scan from any computer. If your XP machine is up to date in patches, then you should be good.

FWIW the Zodat worm only affects machines with Windows 2000 that are not updated and patched with the most recent MS updates.
