Couple of other notes after viewing the video.
1st, this definitely looks like the Sasser Worm that hit a while back. And yes, if your machine doesn't have the critical update, it will be hit immediately.
When it originally hit, you were protected if you weren't patched, but behind a hardware firewall. It goes in through a particular port, and will exploit the machine if it is not patched. I installed a Broadband router for my parents a few weeks before, and I believe it saved them from getting hit because they hadn't dont critical updates in months.
Second, thanks for this Post Howard!! That Active Ports App is awesome, and of course, freeware :approve:
