Over the past two days I have noticed weird activity that is being blocked by Malware Bytes. Always on port 3389 which seems to be for remote desktop? It is only one instance and not repeated blocking.

The first from the protection log yesterday is...

IP-BLOCK 60.172.228.20 (Type: incoming, Port: 3389)

Then today...

IP-BLOCK 218.10.18.28 (Type: incoming, Port: 3389)

I am seriously considering a change of ISP and a complete reformat of my PC to be sure nothing happens.

Ah yes I should have explained what I actually have.

Behind a basic Netgear router with NAT. I have not port forwarded anything besides a different port for an application I use. I have both Malware Bytes and ESET Smart Security 5 installed.
 
I was under the impression that some "talented" people could simply attack any system if they have the determination to. It can't be as simple as not forwarding ports means you are safe.
