[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 934872, member: 88069"] There is the possibility that there are seeders (IP) among them known by Kaspersky that have been marked as malicious, DDoS bots or port scanners. Would not be the first time. Of course False positives are a thing too, but can't hurt to scan the files too. Given the nature of how torrent are downloaded and shared by directly connecting multiple IP's to both download and upload files. This is expected behaviour. Kaspersky in this case just detected an 'foreign' connection trying to scan your network ports. [B]Scan.Generic.PortScan.[x[/B]] where as [x] is the variable that shows what type of connection it is like TCP and UDP. Seeing as all the "attacking computer IP's" are from the same IP, that IP can (or not) belong to a party (or person) that does port scanning and perhaps even DDoS (which are more common nowadays over torrents).
