What program tells you which ports on your computer are being scanned?

ZoneAlarm. And other firewall client apps.

I'm using ZA, but it doesn't seem to have anything that shows me a list of what ports are being hit. I could have sworn i saw this feature with the old version of zone alarm though.

Do you have logging enabled? I don't know much about the freeware version, but the Pro shows alerts and logs EVERYTHING to a file.

go to shields up and run the all service ports probe

Well, not so advanced, and with a not so pretty GUI ...

... you can try netstat on your command prompt ... to get more info: C:\>netstat -a

Type netstat /? for info on parameters.

<edit>
Well, I just realised you want some software that lists ports being scanned from the outside ... don't know for sure if netstat will fit your needs ... give it a try ... at least you'll get to know the tool (if you don't already).

a tool called fport will tell you what programs are using which ports (so fport + netstat gives you a decent idea of what's happening)
