Microsoft has a particularly poor record on securing their TCP servers from allowing bad things to happen, hence the huge market for firewalls etc. to try & keep the hackers away from almost everything. The server protocols, services available and permisions/privileges should conspire to make things very difficult for hackers/viri - if only that were true.
