CodeTek Studios has just released, for free public beta, SafeOffice 1.0 for Windows XP. It is designed to prevent vulnerabilities just like this from being able to cause any damage to your system.

SafeOffice is able to provide an extra layer of security for people running Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, AOL Instant Messenger, and more. And it will prevent these vulnerabilities from being used by an attacker to corrupt your system or to view your private data, even on an unpatched system.

For more information, or to try out the beta for free, go to: http://www.codetek.com/php/beta.php
