someone or something is looking for open ports to exploit. could be a
worm. if you're not running anything on these or any other ports that
you get a warning about, there's nothing to worry about.
netstat -an from a DOS prompt is your friend. research each port that is
open on your router, your computer, etc. and learn how to close these
ports.
