Dear Marcio Vieira,
MV> We were able to prevent the 100% CPU utilization by setting the value of
MV> "SynAttackProtect" to 1 or 2 in the TCP/IP parameters:
MV> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
MV> SynAttackProtect = 1 (DWORD)

Just wanted to report that one, I set this value amongst others in my
freeware network hardening tool "Harden-it" which can be downloaded
from from http://www.sniff-em.com (Shameless advertising).

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:

Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an 
Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a 
message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who 
did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble 
their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first 
place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for 
your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
