    Hello,

    Yes, this is a well-known attack vector in the Windows world.
    Regardless of a gateway's OS, one should be running as good as possible
    firewall checking all incoming and outgoing packets. Windows machines
    in particular are targets and should be running anti-virus, spyware,
    and firewall software locally, as well, to add another layer of
    protection.

    Regards,

    stheg
