AntiScanner - any opinions?

Does anyone have any experience with this program? I am tired of seeing these port scans in my firewall log and this little app supposedly listens in and sends the scanner a message.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.status3.i-r.co.uk/frames.htm

Why would you want to send a message back? All that's gonna do is tell them that there's a computer there. It's like trying to unsubscribe from spam. Just let your firewall do its job and turn off the logging if it bothers you.

I know, I know... that's the more mature way of handling things, but it bothers me that these people are even attempting to get at my computer. You make valid points... I guess I'll just ignore it.
