1. What firewall are you using
assuming you are using one?

I've been tracking my alert log in Zonealarm, pretty interesting and annoying at the same time. Hopefully a techie will give you a definitive answer. I only note that while checking the log after going anywhere on the internet other than DU the alerts are 99% medium status. Checking in DU and alerts start to rise to over 50% High.
Maybe this is normal, :shrug: at least i feel somewhat assured that Zonealarm is doing its job blocking or appears to be.

3. 95% chance it's a Microsoft virus
Whatever the newest Windows virus is, scanning for ports to connect to. Get a firewall http://www.tinysoftware.com/.
