Meaning of App = "445" in packets

Hi,

We are receiving portscans from the source IP address on the port ranges from 1030 to 1139. I have put some logged files as below.  They are blocked by a specific dropping rule as they keep scanning our ports. After a number of the same packets trying to scan the ports, then UTM flags the packet as portscan with fwrrule=60017.

My questions are:

1. What does the app=445 mean in these packets? 

2. What do you do when dealing with these kinds of consistent portscan?
