Yeah, it was just him. He had a virus on there. Then I found Netsky.b
on one of my terminal servers. One of my users let it in by checking
her hotmail account from our network.
What really sucks is that I can block yahoo mail and aol mail and others
by adding their IP addresses to my firewall's block list. That's a big
pain in the butt to keep up to date. But because we run Microsoft Great
Plains, we have to use passport to access their website. I can't block
hotmail without also blocking passport.
Somebody should start a webmail site list like the person did to block
add banners and pop-ups.

Behind the firewall and getting those, eh?
Is he the only person getting these net sends? If it were something on
your network, you'd think that lots of people would be getting them. Do
you have ports 135, 136, or 137 (I think) forwarded to his IP from your
firewall?
What happens if you go home and try to net send your firewall IP? Does
this person get the message?
Does the net send have a FROM name that you recognize? This is easily
spoofed, but who knows, maybe it'll show up as "Message from
BOBS_COMPUTER."

I had a user this morning asking me about annoying pop-ups from
the messenger service trying to sell him things.
I disabled the messenger service on his computer and all was
well.
Only one problem, this user is on the inside of my firewall. My
firewall is blocking the correct stuff so that leads me to believe that
some bonehead user has gone and done something stupid. Any ideas on how
to find out?
