It is more likely that your firewall wants to frighten you so that you'll
buy the upgrades. Your computer would most likely have ignored it even if
you didn't have this firewall. Which firewall is it?

Which is not very far from your own address.
So it's another computer not far away.

Sure, same country as you
http://www.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/whois?&searchtext=84.99.130.132

But please don't be concerned and please don't go trying to contact anyone
you find at the above page.

Can you tell us more about what the firewall said?
If you can tell us more then we can confirm that you should not worry about
this.
