why do you think its microsoft trying to access you? you are most likely
seeing port scans from virus infected machines looking for open machines to
infect. they would be trying various ports that would normally be used by
windows explorer to share files. the best action is to turn off
notifications of junk like that, your firewall is doing its job, there is
really no reason for you to listen to it bragging about it.
