    There's nothing to locate on your computer and nothing to get extremely worried about... Malwarebytes is seeing some sort of attempted scan or malicious intent on a website you've visited and blocked it. Next time you get the warning make a note of what site you're viewing and then don't go there again. If it's a mainstream type of site then it may be an ad banner that's been hijacked and that would eventually be found and fixed, hopefully, by that site admins shortly.

    Did you run a full scan with Malwarebytes? Was anything found?

    You can block an IP or a range of IP addresses using Windows Firewall. That IP is from the Netherlands, where a lot of hacking originates.

    I assume you are not using a router and your computer is directly connected to the modem? If you had a router or a modem/router combo then its built in hardware firewall, which would normally be on by default, would block all of those inbound scans.

    My router's logs show dozens of them every day but they're blocked and my computer never knows about it or needs to know.

    As jdc says you can create rules in Windows firewall to block it but you might drive yourself crazy doing it because it will keep happening with other IP's. It's been happening all along except now that you have the full version of Malwarebytes running at boot since you installed it due to your recent intensive care thread you're being made aware of it.

    Personally, I'd buy a router even if I didn't need the routing capabilities just for it's firewall.

    What's the make/model? Have you had a look to see if there's a firewall that's enabled?

    The DES-1105 D-Link is a switch not a router and there's no built in firewall.

    So, you say you have Sophos and use it to block IP's which I assume means you have two firewalls on the computer? You should only have one software firewall running at a time as they may interfere with each other. Disable one of them for best protection although I still think you''ll be getting those scan alerts from time to time without a hardware firewall/router.

    I wouldn't say no worries but I would not be jumping every time you see Malwarebytes tell you you've been scanned. Having said that I would still have a hardware firewall for complete protection.
