Do we have some "bambi hunting" going on

A number of security news groups and antivirus vendors are publishing
the threat of a new killer virus/worm. Has anyone created any scripts to
apply to ISA to counter this new threat. Or is it another Bambi hunt.
Microsoft did not have anything on the web site.

Users of vulnerable systems should patch them as soon as possible. If
patching isn't possible, then there are some ways to minimize exposure.
For example, users can block UDP ports 135, 137, 138 and 445, as well as
TCP ports 135, 139, 445 and 593 at the firewall. Also, disabling COM
Internet Services (CIS) and RPC over HTTP, which listen on ports 80 and
443, would also protect against the flaws being exploited.
