iptables patch-o-matic has a match which could help in making a generic
firewall rule blocking misbehaving stations.. just make sure to make
reasonable exceptions for any child caches you may have.
also make sure to use "half_closed_clients off" in squid.conf
Use of proxy authentication should also quite effectively stop these
worms, but will cost you quite a bit of CPU time on the proxy server..
In any event you need to make sure to have the infected stations cleaned
one way or another.
