I believe I'm being hacked

Dear Friends Whom I've Only Cultivated For Free Technical Support: I seem to have a problem and request advice.

I've been getting some odd laptop grinding noises, performance hits and complaints from McAfee that I'm not protected ("click "Fix") so I checked the Internet Inbound Events log and found a bunch of these:

A computer at 79.67.95-79.rev.gaoland.net has attempted an unsolicited connection to UDP port 28432 on your computer.

Another one from dru3.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl (same port)

etc. (ETA: OMG I've found HUNDREDS of them)

I have the option to ban the IP... should I?

More technical info on request - I haven't a clue what's going on.

TIA

NEW INFO: Something appears to be trying to open my Wireless Network Adapater (which I have switched off because I don't use it at home)

Nope. After powercycle I'm still fending off connection attempts. It's very uncomfortable :-(
