The Blaster worm has infected hundreds of thousands of Windows machines, shut down the Maryland state DMV, put network administrators on overtime, crashed countless consumer's home computers, and on Saturday it will attempt a denial-of-service attack on Microsoft's Windows Update site. But that doesn't make it all bad.

I wonder though, why won't the large ISPs (AOL, ComCast, Roadrunner, etc) firewall their networks and protect all of their customers?
A customer using one of those networks rarely has the need to have the netbios ports, for example, open for normal personal use.
If Comcast, etc. is selling a "business" network then go ahead and leave the ports open, but counsel the business about using a firewall........
