I saw a big increase in UDP packets sent to port 1026 (and 1027
occasionally)...

What is this? ICQ buffer overflow? Or something totally different?

This looks like just Messenger spam. It is designed to pop up a message on
the target's Windows desktop. The messages commonly promote malware
disguised as legitimate utilities. They send commonly these to any or all of
1025 through 1029, since Windows creates a listener on one of the low
dynamic ports. Usually I see an accompanying attempt against UDP 137 with
the same content.
