Ministry of Defence

Hey! anybody got any ideas on this? I was surfing Home Repair Forum and all of a sudden I get an alert from my firewall (Sygate) telling me that someone is attempted to scan my pc. Here is the results

Somebody is scanning your computer.
Your computer's UDP ports:
1025, 1026, 1027, and 1029 have been scanned from 25.206.121.235..

When I back traced it it showed Ministry of Defense. Why would they be scanning me? I use a keylogger as many people use my pc when I'm away and I check it every day, no one has been any where they should not be, nor made any threatning emails, nor visited any ileagle sites. Could this be a randome scan maybe? Or did I miss something. Many people that use my pc usually go to tagged at yahoo.com.

Troy is an unknown quantity at this point
In most cases, the IP that is scanning you is probably a compromised computer or server. That computer has been hacked, and then someone is using it to scan for other computers with vulnerabilities. I doubt it is the ministry of defence.
