Portscan from internal IP address

I run ASG 7.502. Last night I got more than 100 e-mails about portscan. The source IP address shown was my son's laptop.

What do these messages mean?

Thanks...
Arun Gupta

Thanks Barry. He had Bittorrent running at that time. If I create an exception, I will not get reports in case the laptop gets infected.

No real way around other than what Barry said... some software is just ill-behaved and will perform a portscan looking for open ports to communicate through.
