Ok this is really getting to annoy me. For a while now I've been getting random port scans from the same ip address. At first these scans would occur maybe once or twice a week at most but now they're up to 3 and 4 port scans a day at times(Norton blocks the little pest for 30 mins after the scan which prob limits their tries) It doesn't seem to matter where on the web I am or what I am doing at the time of the scan but they all seem to start after I've been online for at least an hour and they only occur after 11 pm from what I've observed. I used Norton's tracking service to find out the ip address originates from somewhere in Vermont.
Is there anyway to prevent the scans other than stealthing my ports (which I already did) cuz I'm getting tired of all the warnings popping up.
