    So is their any real point to complaining? or is this just another fact of life like spam?
    Can you even prove such things... since it may just be another infected machine probing away without the knowledge of the user?
    (I'm talking about once off probes on a home-user account.)
    It doesn't bother me so much, since I run a reasonably clean show... but this is exactly the kind of malicious little prick that would just as soon delete some old ladys diary off her desktop then kill-off her OS.
    I think if we can do anything to deter them - we should.
    I know there's a whole shpeel about - "it's your own fault if you're not protected", but there are genuinly innocent, security-unconcious and trusting people out there that don't deserve to have their machine (for the want of a better word) rooted.

    Just thought I'd pick your brains on this...

    just take it with a pinch of salt..

    there'll be plenty more to take their place if you "report" them

    too many scans taking place to catch 'em all!
