My first guess would be that your seeing the effects of SirCam. In addition to being spread by email SirCam once installed looks for open file shares on other machine on the network to infect. It does this by check port 139. If you like, I have been keeping statistics concerning Red Code and SirCam on my local @Home providers and have posted the resulting graphs on http://members.home.net/mcneillb/. SirCam first showed up on our local ISP on July 19th or 20th and has been very persistent since then with anywhere from 15 - 45 probes a day to my system.
