ICMP Destination Unreachable Port Unreachable

Subject: ICMP Destination Unreachable Port Unreachable
Date: 18 Dec 2007 20:18:38 -0000
My SNORT installation set of an alarm a few days back:

"ICMP Destination Unreachable Port Unreachable" [Impact: Vulnerable] From 
"SNORT-sensor" at Thu Dec 13 13:24:59 2007 UTC [Classification: Misc Activity] 
[Priority: 3] {icmp} RemoteHostIP->LocalHostIP

I have checked my firewall logs and confirmed that the LocalHost has been 
trying to connect to RemoteHost at that time and also checked a pcap-file from 
snort and found my LocalHost MAC-adress so it's not somekind of spoofing. The 
problem here is that the RemoteHost is NOT anything I want to talk to.

I have scanned the LocalHost with several antivirus/antirootkit/antispyware byt 
can't find anything that could cause the connectionattempts.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? What could possibly cause this? Is 
my LocalHost compromised?
