Try disconnecting from the network and reconnecting - hopefully you'll get yourself a new ip.

Check you're firewall is blocking all unnecessary ports - as a precaution.

Angellus - the ip scanning u, got a trojan most likely

No need to worry most fresh install of a Windows OS get scanned with an hour of being on the net or worse still hacked, especially if you have no firewall. A good idea is to disable ping and traceroute at your firewall or router so you are semi invisible like. Test your computer at www.grc.com with shields up. Sorry to say but Windows was not made as a network OS in mind.

I have recieved 2 port scan warnings from Sygate in the past 24 hours.

Only? Jeez I get tons more

Should I be worried? What is this exactly?

Nope, your firewall blocked it. Seems like some ADSL users have trojens or are doing network scans. Either way your firewall stopped it.

and the best thing is that all that traffic is counting towards you cap

You don't need to worry at all. By default Sygate blocks ICMP traffic, pings, etc. It passes with flying colors through grc tests... Just don't open any ports you don't need to.
