Blocking port 4444 for W32.Blaster.Worm

[Steven_Paice () cityofperth wa gov au]

Hi all,

I have just been reading up on the Blaster Worm, and Symantec suggest
blocking TCP port 4444 at the firewall level; I was wondering if anyone has
implemented this yet and if so, if they have any feedback on the results
regarding performance, risks etc.

Thanks in advance
