Port Scan Blocked - Same IP keeps port scanning me

So I use Bitdefender (2010 right now) and ever since I have it has protected me from "Port Scans", alerting me that is has blocked one.

In the last couple of days, almost 4 times an hour I get alerted that an address 41.254.0.256 has been blocked from attempting a port scan on me. Google has turned up nothing at all. (update) I just used a whois service.

Wow, apparently it's out of Libyan. I can't imagine there's anything from there I would want port scanning my computer. What should I do security wise? Any idea who/what this is? Thanks I realize this isn't a malware removal question, but it's the closest category I think. Thank you

 

76.3.148.108

This one is doing it also. I have emailed the provider in Libya and called the one I just mentioned and reported the abuse. If I set my firewall to block all inbound attempts from these IP's, that the best thing to do right?

 

The best thing to do is turn off the alerts.
Bots are out there auto-scanning constantly for any unpatched computer. You will make yourself nuts worrying about every alert describing what the firewall has blocked.

 

Sure, thanks. It's just when it's every two minutes for a solid day or two you start thinking about what else you can do about it. Ok issue solved thread may be closed

 

I understand this may be a closed matter, but this is what the second IP address resolves to after some digging:

http://embarqservices.net/ Familiar? If not, perhaps its an ad on a webpage triggering the alert.

The first IP address is not valid.

41.254.0.256

256 is simply not possible for the last number.

 

It was x.x.x.246

Yes I contacted embarq and let them know what was happening. I don't expect them to do anything but you gotta try.

So I leave a lot of tabs open in Firefox, so it was probably coming from an ad on one of the sites?
