    've made a change on my router.
    And now I'm getting the message from my firewall: "Generic Host Process
    for Win32 Services, Port 32729".
    There's several such messages that come up each with a different port.

    Is this an intrusion from a potential hacker?

    Should I block it forever?

    Thanks.

    OM
