There are computers scanning random IPs all the time, not always for malicious reasons. Someone might have just decided to scan the some IP range with those ports.

There is a lot of danger out there though. A windows XP computer with no service packs installed, and no updates/firewall/anti-virus will get a virus within 10 minutes of connecting to the internet.

"home-office.mshome.net"

Ever thought maybe MS was scanning your system for pirate software?

Delete C:\WINDOWS\System32
Most viruses live there, quick delete it before it multiplies
