Hi, I'm a Mac noob, having only used an iMac under a year.
I've installed Intego VirusBarrier X6, cuz I'm one of those security-worry types.
Recently, around midnight, while my iMac is in sleep mode, my Intego Firewall Log shows that it's blocking an incoming connection from within a network, particularly a house tenant's Windows HP laptop.
The source is the tenant's computer. And for about an hour, incrementally different ports from his computer tries to interact with my destination ports (135, 139, and 445), using a TCP SMB/CIFS Windows service file, TCP Microsoft Domain Server, or his TCP Port 135.
Now I don't want to be rude and confront him while looking all paranoid.
Could someone tell me what my log means? Am I being hacked? Is his computer infected? Or is it standard for computers to "sniff" each other out?
Thank you,
