Do you have a question about this? Port probes are going to happen. As long as you have your firewall your safe. If you want more info about the ports look here-

Get yourself a router and you won't get so many hits with ZA. Could try checking that box with Don't show this dialog again.

No Yusef, Rainbow does not mean that. What he is trying to tell you is that what you are experiencing is not unusual when you have a software firewall installed. It just means the firewall is doing it's job.

Try reading the Help files for ZA and if that doesnt help with your questions, go here (http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/) and post your questions in the appropriate forum. Nothing like help from the source. :)

Transferring to the Applications Forum.

Hi Yusef, it is most likely something to do with the way you have configured Zone Alarm or your network. I havent used Zone Alarm for years and unless someone else has an answer for you, your best help is available in the Zone Alarm Forums. I posted the link for you in my previous reply.

Do you happen to be using Internet Connection Sharing via your brother's PC? If so, then those are normal attacks (!) and you can safely let your firewall handle them. You'll also want to ensure your brother's PC has a firewall.

If you're not using ICS, there's a chance your brother's PC is infected with malware. Port 1080 (the destination port in your screenshot) has been used for the Bugbear virus among others. It could also be completely legitimate network activity from your brother, but the ports you listed aren't common to any legitimate activity I know of. It might be an idea to get his computer checked for malware in Cyber Safety.
