I see the probes everyday. However, they are not necessarily at my system.

I am constantly running BlackICE (intrusion detection
software) which blocks and records every attempt to connect
to my PC either through general scanning of my ports or
actual backdoor attempts. I'd say 3-4 scans/attempts is an
average day.

How do you know that? Do you have any statistics?

FWIW, scanning sites to evaluate your PC against
attacks/scanning.

Hope this helps,
