First off, you need to be a lot more specific with your question. When you say "from your firewall," for example, is it just saying that someone's trying to connect to you on the sub7 port or...??? There's a whole host of scenarios...
What firewall are you using? Is it a softward firewall by chance? What are you using to see the error message (ie. what warned you)? Is it by chance a log viewer on a hardware firewall?
My guesses are that your firewall's simply warning you that someone's trying to connect to that port on your machine, and, well, getting dropped... in any case, it's probably just an "FYI" type message - it's what firewalls do to tell you that they're actually working and your purchase of them is indeed needed.
BTW, here's the link to McAfee's VIL (Wirus Information Library) with the information on Sub7... hopefully it is of some use or, at least, educational:
