Ports being probed ?
I run Malwarebytes with full time protection (paid version).Whenever I use my laptop with my 3G data USB stick,I see that Malwarebytes is quite active in blocking attempts to probe various ports.Svchost.exe always involved.
I looked at the logs and did a 'whois' on the blocked IP addresses and...every one of them originates in China.
The USB data stick is made in China by Huawei.Only occurs when the USB data stick is in use,never with my home ADSL or Wifi.
Just a co-incidence or maybe something more nefarious ?
