As a workaround before a patch was available, on 28 December 2005 Microsoft advised Windows users to unregister the dynamic-link library file shimgvw.dll (which can be done by executing the command regsvr32.exe /u shimgvw.dll from the Run menu or the command prompt) which invokes previewing of image files and is exploited by most of these attacks.
Hätäratkaisuna 28. joulukuuta 2005 Microsoft neuvoo Windowsin käyttäjiä poistamaan dll-tiedoston shimgvw.dll rekisteröinnin (joka voidaan tehdä suorittamalla komento regsvr32.exe /u shimgvw.dll Suorita-valikosta tai komentokehotteella).WikiMatrix WikiMatrix
