My firewall says "Somebody has scanned your computer. Your computer's UDP ports 4163, 4164, 4165, and 4168 have been scanned from 69.148.41.99.." I dont like the looks of this.
"Somebody is scanning your computer."

im only new at this so the following could be a load of rubbish
By the looks of it its SBC Internet Services
correct me if im wrong but does it mean some (or maybe several) host(s) are looking to see if you have any
ports open that they can
exploit
The firewall is just letting you know this is happening.
I heard its pretty normal to get the odd port scan.
At least your firewall is picking it up

If theres a setting to block it altogather do that next time
do you currently have a router set up??
if you are connecting through a router then either a) someone on your own LAN is scanning your IP, or b) a machine on your LAN has been compromised
by the sounds of it...this is unlikely, that you have a router, as your firewall should only pick up external connections, leaving all internal network connections wide open
your firewall should block these attempts, basically someone is scanning your IP to see if there is any exploitable software active on those ports....sometimes you can run code from these exploits, sometimes a DoS attack followed by a man in the middle attack...just make sure you have a good firewall set up, or get yourself a router

If you hide behind a router then your machine isn't open to public attacks unless you put your internal IP in the router's DMZ or he's scanning ports that you are forwarding

With this, it also tells you his address and name. Although, tbh, i have no idea if its him. I was going by "custname" and assumiong it was customer name
