You might wish to know these factors:

1) ISPs can filter most of the spoofed outgoing packets (except those using its own subnet).

2) Viruses and trojans cannot send spoofed packets if they cannot enter your computer (such as due to firewalls, anti-viral, anti-trojan, intrusion detection software or proper design of the OS).

Raw Sockets and M$ should not take all the fault of causing these problems.
