My advice..

Make sure you machine is up to date with patches and don't worry about=20
port scans, you'll lose too much sleep.

I'm L3 for a major ISP, and I can tell you that if you forward port=20
scan complaints, they will be more or less ignored...there are too many=20
infected computers to track each and every one down.  It would pretty=20
much take a law enforcement inquiry..and even then logs aren't kept=20
around very long.
