hmm, are you using wifi router? from the looks of it, it seems that someone is connected to your network trying to hack into your system, port scanning is usually the beginning phase (nmap?), if yes, see in your router's configuration for any suspicious MAC address and block it.

If not using wifi, maybe a nasty virus in your system?

@truemate

Don't give up!, I assume you are on ESS 7 like me, try this, change your ESS Firewall mode setup rules to Interactive.

and watch what it's done your TCP Blocked or NOT.

2nd option

-Inspect all app you have installed
-Clean install. ESS7 unistall ESS7 1st ( followed with eset uninstaller in safemode!)
-Reinstall ESS7
-Keep ESS in Default setting except these:
-Change ESS Firewall mode to Interactive.
-Change ESS HIPS mode to Interactive.
-Allow and remember setting as your need.
-Wait another replies.
3rd option simply, Back to EAV 7....?????

Good luck!

PS: My Torrent Client qBittorrent, Network LAN, Hub D-link, ADSL+Router TP-Link+Wifi, Host 11.

for illustration my Screenshot ESS 7 setup menu.

The gathernetworkinfo.vbs script comes by default with every Windows 7/8 installation and is located within the C:\Windows\System32\ folder.

The script does collect various networking information about the Windows system and its configuration and dumps the information into the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder.

Port scanning requests from external IP sources are a common occurrence & have been around since the invent of the internet. I get many of these each day showing they have been blocked in the firewall logs on the gateways of my corporate networks.

My suggestion would be to set the firewall rules in your modem to:-

Block ICMP traffic, or 'stealth' mode: ICMP is the protocol used most commonly by the PING program, which queries a given IP address and reports back if a computer answers. This program forms the basis for the myriad of 'scanner' programs freely available on the Internet. These scan a range of IP addresses for responding computers. The systems that answer back to the ICMP request are then targeted by the scanner for further, more intrusive measures to discover security weaknesses. If your firewall blocks ICMP traffic, your system is effectively invisible to casual Internet snoopers.

Block fragmented packets, anonymous requests, DOS attacks etc.

Disable remote administration.

At the end of the day it is always advisable to attempt to block all bad guys at the gateway of your internet connection rather than at an individual PC level.
