Hi, I was wondering what other node owners are doing about the recent onslaught of Windows viruses and worms. I've been seeing more and more machines trying to open literally 10,000 connections on the Internet per minute (and filling up the NAT state table), and it seems due to the Welchia virus.
Between this and the viruses / worms which flood our email boxes with "Current Network Security Update" emails, it seems we are suck constantly administering to the lowest common denominator. I do not own any Microsoft products, but I am constantly bombarded with Microsoft problems. So what are other people doing to reduce this deluge of garbage? I did not want to block outgoing access to port 25 from my free networks, but I was forced to do so; I do not like limiting the kinds of traffic that people can use from the free networks, but if I don't, then a few people with viruses can clog the whole connection for everyone else. What are other people doing?
