This exploit is a threat when Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. If you're using a router than this vulnerability doesn't affect you.

I would however still recommend a 3rd party firewall. I really don't trust the microsoft one. I prefer one that gives me more control over what is being allowed. The MS firewall is configurable to a point, but not like I would prefer.
