Which he very kindly sent to me in a PM, and which I've responded to. I was pretty flip in my response, to tell the truth. But I've been there--a weird new behavior shows up in my logs, and I freak right out, only to find out later that it's the such-and-so worm...
Unless you have some reason to think you're a target (and ego aside, 99% of us home users have no reason to think that), there's probably nothing much to worry about. Provided you've taken appropriate precautions, of course, like running a closed, well-monitored firewall. If you're swiss cheese for every worm that comes along, you're probably not somebody who notices port scans anyway....
