I followed the directions here:

I have downloaded the Vulnerability Checker and the Shimqvw.bat script. I've run option 1 of the script and it said "successfull" but the vulnerability checker says I'm still vulnerable.

Just wondering what was going on?

Did you also install wmffix_hexblog14.exe ?

No, I thought running the script was an alternative to that.

Hi, Just thought that I would throw this in here. I am trying the Microsoft One Care (beta) security program. When I started my computer this morning Microsoft informed me that they are working on the patch but in the meantime my computer is protected from this vulnerability through the one care program.

Unregistering the pix/fax viewer is only a partial fix. You also need to install wmffix.

There is *supposed* to be a fix included in next Tuesday's updates.

Thanks for your replies.

For those who have not seen the news the Microsoft patch is available *now*.

I've installed it (after the usual MS authentication insults ) and the Vulnerability Checker says I'm "Impregnable" So for users of Windows XP SP1 and SP2 the point is now moot.
