Default Help needed

My Norton Antivirus has been flagging up an attempted 'internet worm' intrusion from ip address 213.107.153.82 on port 1042 on several ocassions

Is it possible who this is? .... or whether it is a bonafide attack.

Regards

PS... this is a great site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing about Worms are they are both unintelligent, and rather stubborn. They continually attempt to access a particular Port on a range of IP's to try to exploit the machine. However Norton's being the peice of crap it is, informs you of such attempts irrelevent of whether you even at risk. Putting it simply, the chances of you being at risk of a real attack are almost completely non existent.
