Yep, the worn installs itself directly through Port 135 - you don't have
to have any software at all running. If you have a real firewall (a
hardware firewall, *not* one of those software "firewalls") you're
generally safe. Most routers that do NAT seem to do the trick.

Until yesterday I wouldn't have believed that any large network would
allow PCs to have ports 135-139 open at all (Windows Messaging spam) but
my S.O. tells me that almost every desktop at the University got
infected!
