i am seeing attempts from machines that i dont think should be attempting ssh connections.. they dont seem valid or like a hack attempt as no username/password seems to be passed.. see attaqchment of attempt vs valid attempt with usersname.
virus scanning on the machines show nothing.. any ideas what is going on? maybe some sort of security (norton or malwarebytes periodic security scanning?)

thanks
