I have it running on my home pc and on one of my office machines,
using Zonealarm firewall logs. I have dshield (dshield.org) running on another.
I found the Dshield log excerpts (which can be emailed to oneself)
quite handy in identifying Blaster infected machines last year.

I have no concerns about sharing the firewall logs and letting them
deal with reporting problem machines.

We've also occasionally received Mynetwatchman and Dshield reports identifying
problem machines on our campus. They're informative and useful.
