Trojan inbound connections to port 445

[ChromaticCube]

Hello,

Recently I started using the Malwarebytes trial with real time protection trial again and it has been detecting the occasional "Inbound Connection" labelled as Trojan and always to port 445, with no file assigned in the report.

This seems to only happen in a university-type public network (so far), and the IP address varies. I have my firewall set to block all inbound connections when connected to a Public network, so this has surprised me.

I have run a full scan with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Zemana AntiMalware and HitmanPro and all came across as clean.

Should I suspect malware presence and will my computer be vulnerable once the trial expires? How can I tell if my firewall is doing its job?

Thank you

[ChromaticCube]

I have also recently done a clean install of Chrome.
