SANS and many other security sites recommend un-registering Shimgvw.dll (Microsoft picture and fax viewer) and using the unofficial patch to protect aginst the virus, until Microsoft can release an official patch. A virus scanner isn't enough to protect against some of the more advanced variants of the exploit.

how to unregister the .dll

   

Click Start, click Run, type "regsvr32 -u %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.

A dialog box appears to confirm that the un-registration process has succeeded. Click OK to close the dialog box.
