Portscans on the internet are a fact of life - unpleasant, yes, but you can safely ignore them, and instead, concentrate on keeping your systems secured.
that is certainly what the malware authors and users hope that we'll all do, so listen up. just because many of the infected hosts won't be disinfected, don't assume that there's no value in tracking and reporting them, or that there's no reason to spend money listening to and acting on complains about them. the internet's immune system needs *more* resources, not fewer. -- Paul Vixie
