One minor correction: this form of spam cannot bypass firewalls. This spam
uses port 135 and if a firewall leaves that port open, only then can the
spam get thru. Most firewalls close all ports by default.

expected to follow suit. For a report on this security breach, go to ...

One way to block this form of attack is to disable the Messenger Service on
your computer and disable all non-essential communication bindings. The two
attached pix show settings on my computers.
