Port Scanning attack detected on ESET
Hi All.
My colleague and I each have a windows 7 machine on a LAN. Now I have ESET NOD32 installed and it frequently shows me that his PC's internal IP address is scanning my ports - "Detected Port scanning attack from 192.168.0.8". Now I checked the log files in ESET and it says everytime that the port being scanned is port 139.
Is that malware/virus on my colleagues PC that is doing this? How can I prevent this and is it slowing down my internet in any way?
Thanks
