[KB2951] Resolve "Detected Port Scanning Attack" notifications

The "Network threat blocked" notification indicates that ESET has detected and blocked an intrusion attempt (it does not indicate that your system is infected)

If you are not sure that the detected IP address is safe, we recommend that you create a log of all connections blocked by the ESET firewall and contact ESET technical support for assistance.

Verify that program module updates are downloading properly (these will include ESET firewall module updates whenever they are available). Update ESET products—check for latest product modules.
Scan your computer.
If your ESET product detects an infection, complete preliminary malware troubleshooting.

If your ESET product does not detect an infection, disable intrusion detection notifications.

If your system is not infected, follow the steps below to disable Detected Port Scanning Attack notifications:
