Well- if you read my original post- it is NOT just one "mere scan"- this is a regular pattern that has been going on for nearly three weeks- all ONLY HERE at RMP. Among the MANY attempts reported by Norton was "MS-SQL_NullPacket_DoS" A threat which happened while in the RMP- Norton says- "This attack could pose a serious security threat. You should take immediate action to stop any damage or prevent further damage from happening." So there is no "mere scan" or low level threat here- someone is trying a SERIES of attempts using a variety of methods- and they are INCREASING in frequency... Just because YOUR MACHINE software hasn't warned you, doesn't mean that it is NOT happening on your machine! Maybe you just haven't DISCOVERED it yet- or the hacker(s) hasn't reached your machine yet...
