Getting port scanned

Any idea why macroquest2.com port scanned me on 1868, 1866, 1864, 1861, 1860, 1859?

Obviously they are trying to hack your box. Those ports have a lot of vulnerabilities associated with them. I would be sure to patch windows and run a virus scan.

Did you realize that macroquest2.com is a virtual domain and does not have its own ip address? The ip address belongs to projects.sourceforge.net. Therefore, macroquest2.com can't be associated with port scanning... noob

Of course I know that its a virtual domain, and I wasn't suggesting that this was being perpetrated by your good selves. I wasn't even jumping up and down like a noob shouting "hey, WTF. stop hacking me you bastards!!".

I was just asking why it was happening? Maybe someone out there knows what it is.

Could I get a civilised answer please?

A civilized answer on these forums? You should look into a career in comedy.

Stupid questions get stupid answers ....thus has it always been.

I love how losers like you guys come and use our free software and then think it's ok to criticize how we answer questions on this board.

Honestly, if one of the devs here wanted to hack your computer, don't you think you'd already be hacked? I'm insulted that you think we'd be that incompetent as to be caught by something as simple as a port scanner ..lol.
