According to Flynn, many network administrators are puzzled over how the ads have weaseled through firewalls onto users' computers. While Windows Messenger traditionally uses commonly protected ports 137 and 139, Flynn said the recent pop-ups appear to use port 135, which is often left unprotected by a firewall because it's a vital conduit for communicating with a Microsoft service called RPC.

--- is CRAP.. EVERY administrator know that he has to shut these 3 portnumbers both UDP and TCP traffic.. AVERY PROF. xDSL or cabelmodem connection have these ports blocked... its a wild goose.... the guy that wrote it know NOTHING... let me say it an other way .. 99.99999999999999999% of the time you CANT use the netsend command over the net....
If you dont have a software firewall by now, then get one got damm it... For no other reason, then at least to stop Microsoft from Leaking your info.
