XPservicePack 2 very effectively stomps on zombies. Everything that
want to accept incoming Internet connections, or establish new
outgoing ones, requires the user to manually accept this behavior - by

watch their hard-earned zombie armies as they're cut down like flies

Most people select "Ok" or "Yes" when given a choice.
They just have no idea what the question is about.
In most cases they got the zombie by clicking "Ok" or "Yes"!
I bet they will allow the zombie to access the internet.

Agreed. And then there are the probably millions of people who won't
even download or install XP Service Pack 2, at all.
The number of hits to my SMTP server that are coming from zombies hasn't
decreased at all this week.
