As was said at the beginning of this thread, this is almost certainly not malicous,but from an unsuspecting user with a virus infected PC. It will take time but eventually the IP you mentioned will vanish from your logs, only to be replaced by thousands of others.

Is is best not to get too paranoid about firewall logs, by all means keep an eye on them but if you keep your AV/firewall up to date and properly configured, and use a good adware/spyware blocking you will be fine.
