Better:

1) Deregister the dll

2) Eliminate the vulnerable code:

copy /Y %windir%\system32\notepad.exe %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll

AND

copy /Y %windir%\system32\notepad.exe %windir%\system32\DLLCACHE\shimgvw.dll

AND

3) Don't install Irfanview as Alternative!

Although shimgvw.dll is still not functionable , the System will be vulnerable again !

Uses Irfanview the same Code ???

Are other Pictureviewer also vulnerable ????

Tested: After the workaround, Off2003 Picture Manager is not vulnerable.

What a nice new Year !!
