Ports 137,138,139 and 445 is file sharing protocols mainly for Windoze
machine's or system running SMB.
If you can close this ports in you're router, do that.

Ports 1024, 1025, 1027, 1028, 1029 and 1030 is normally used by spam
coming from almost anywhere.
Closing this ones is a god idea to do, so you don't get nice little
pop-ups asking you stupid questions.
