Using Tor to scan the internet is a good way to see how the internet looks from different perspectives at once, which can be quite valuable.
I disagree and, as noted above, treat that as a cracking attempt.Why do you consider a portscan to be an attempt to gain unauthorized access to your computer?
On second thought, now that you have publicly stated that you have programmed your computer to detect portscans and respond to them by malfunctioning, a portscan itself may very well be an attack on your computer.
