Re: getting worried with IP inbounds

In all likelyhood, it is torrent clients seeking torrents. Use your
firewall to block that port and open it only when you are actively sharing
torrents.

Hello,

I have comodo firewall and recently I have noticed that even with no other
programs running at startup there are dozens of log entries like this one:

Description: Information (Access Granted, IP = 209.133.121.235, Port =
29807)Protocol: TCP
IncomingSource: 90.202.177.58:53292
Destination: 192.168.0.2:29807
TCP Flags: SYN
Reason: Network Control Rule ID = 5

I'm getting worried because the sources are from all over the world and
they
all target port 29807. I could configure comodo to stop these but then I
couldn't use bittorrent,so that's not an option.

Could someone please cast some light on what's going on here?
Is this a sign of malware(though I have scanned)?
Thankyou.
