[lug] linux firewall, popup windows spam blocking

[D. Stimits]

It seems that www.byebyeads.com is illegally violating Colorado spam 
laws (and probably newer national laws), and fraudulently claiming on 
their web page that their spam is legal. They seem to believe this 
because they are using the windows pop-up message service, rather than 
email. I know because they caused an application to crash by popping up 
such a message while an application was loading, and somehow managed to 
break the screenshot mechanism at the same time.

What I'm wondering is if anyone knows what I can block on my linux 
firewall to block popups from other networks? Are these popups UDP or 
TCP? What port or ports are used? I already have 137:139 blocked, and 
some others. I even have zonealarm firewall on the windows machine 
itself, but it still allowed this popup. I'd like to totally remove this 
remote ability via the linux end, as nothing related to security on 
windows can be trusted.
