1) are you sometime playing game on the computer where is running hfs?

2) you can change the allowed connection from 'any address' to your local network ip (192.168.x.x) , except 127.0.0.1 in the 'accept connections on'  list

3) you have a running software which scan your computer at address 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 is  you, yourself.
it's a software on your own computer (where hfs is running), connecting to hfs.
and i guess it's not harmful.

if you really want to know what software it is, you can know a program like tcpview or cports.
use google if you want them.
