You shouldn't have to worry about "pings" or "port scans" unless you
have a bunch of ports hanging open that you shouldn't.
Or if you switch off your firewall, to see what happens.
Windows is not a secure system, and software or malware can soon open ports
or send messages to other systems so that they may connect.
By default, Windows installs protocols that are unlikely to be needed by
most users. All my system has in the "Networks" is the dial-up adaptor and
the TCP/IP protocol.
