So, if in YOUR network you want to do this blocking, go right ahead, but I
wouldn't expect anyone else to follow suit unless they already determined
there was a good reason for themselves to follow suit. As an aside, a day
or so of 5 minutely reboots teaches even the slowest user to find a
firewall product and upgrade/update their systems, eh?
Yeah. I hate to admit it, but there is a lot gained from this worm. The
of the worm will secure a lot of systems from other exploits of the same
vulnerability which can be used for much worse. From what I've seen, a
lot of networks have sent user's to custom webpages to assist in
patching and removal of the worm. I wonder if microsoft minds the
redistribution of patches in this senario. ;)
