Post Zonealarm indicates mass attack. But why?

Usually with Zonealarm as firewall I get one 'alarm' every couple of hours. In the last 90 minutes while going about my legitimate internet business I have had 453 alarms [and counting], all from different addresses. Can anyone suggest why that might be? The only thing I can think of is that my ISP is frequented by lots of gamers and perhaps my assigned address when I dialled in was previously given to some gamer and people are trying to communicate with that computer and getting repelled from mine.
I just hope that Zonealarm is 100% effective!
