Hi ive been having connection problems lately so looking through router settings (virgin superhub 2 ) i noticed port scans in firewall log http://postimg.org/image/gjcz2spqn .I googled ip's and port numbers and im not sure these are good (bit of a noob).Am i being hacked ? i always keep win7 and avast up to date so my question is should i be worried about these or take any measures.Any help or advise would be appreciated thanks.

Great, from what I understand, every computer in the world that is hooked up to the web is constantly probed by hackers.

yes when googling this does seem to happen a lot and when i read things like metasploit i think maybe they only need to scan ports once to find backdoor (open port) and deploy payload like keylogger ?.I do what i can with limited knowledge ie keep up to date , run browser sandboxed and it seems virgins dynamic ip's are not really that dynamic.After running suggested programs i seem ok.all this googling has led me to kali linux penetration testing software(now installed) and im working through some tutorials testing my network hopefully it will give me an insight.i guess knowledge is the key (why i posted here) and only when you understand can you feel confident.Luckily for peeps like me for every bad guy there are good guys willing to help.thanks again guys :)
