Not with this kind of spam, it wont. This is an exploit of open port 139 used by MicroSoft messenger service (not to be confused with MSN messenger) which is enabled by default with NT/2000/XP WinOS. Spammers get your ip with a IP scanner/sniffer and then use Net Send to spam you.
Best thing to do would be to disable Messenger Service if you don't need it (most people w/o network don't - and with network only sysadmins do)
