A flurry of port scans

Is that the collective noun?



For the past three days I've had a flurry of alerts from Zonealarm, 


registering high rating activity - all blocked OK, but logged.   This is new 


behaviour.     I don't think it's ZA, as I've been running it for ages, and 


haven't knowingly upgraded or changed any settings recently.     I am also 


behind a router and hardware firewall, so I'm not actually too concerned 


about the 'attacks' themselves, more the reason for the increased activity - 


any ideas, or am I just lucky?



A.
