Question Internet Access Control Question

People,

Every so often, my Firewall (Norton Personal Firewall) pops up an Internet Access Control window during web surfing that advises I block a high risk remote system which is attempting to access my machine.

I always opt for the block; never giving it much thought...& then continue on.

Today, out of curiosity, I went to Internet Access Control in NPF to see what these remote systems were.

They were various Inbound TCP, UDP, IMCP & NetBIOS Services...utilizing any number of different ports.

What are these services; & how does this all work?

Thanks very much,
