For some reason, my wife's computer is being repeatedly portscanned by 209.225.0.6, which resolves to 'servedby.advertising.com'. Anyone know why they would be doing this? Is there any reason for me not to just block them at the firewall?

block them at the firewall IMHO - there's no reason anybody should be repeatedly scanning your ports. I recently ran adaware on a friend's PC that was acting up - found a bunch of stuff including servedby.advetising stuff. Nuked it all.

As Oilman said block them all, Portscans on "normal" computers is very common today.
I know that nobody at Advertising.com would be portscanning your computer though.
