Lately i've been getting numerous port scan attempts and when I tracked the IP it came up as my ISP. Why would they be port scanning me, should I be worried? What should I do?

Hello crk628,

Call your ISP's tech support and ask them why they are scanning your ports. If you have a properely configured software firewall, you probably have nothing to worry about. Smile

They're scanning to verify you're not running any services (WWW, FTP etc) that may be contrary to your service agreement.
