Just out of curiosity, I looked at my ZoneAlarm status.
It said that, since it's installation, 9000 intrusions had been blocked, and 1014 of those were "high-rated".
The fact is, if you have any internet connection, other computers out there will constantly be probing IP addresses looking for open ports to get in. It's not that they're looking specifically for you, just any possibly vulnerable PC.
If anything, set your firewall setting to silently protect you, for simple peace of mind. And of course make sure the firewall and anti-virus programs are up to date.
