[SpywareDr]

A temporary WMF Exploit patch is available. Started reading about it on Steve Gibson's site:

More about this WMF Patch can be found on the author's site (Ilfak Guilfanov):

Windows WMF Metafile Vulnerability HotFix
http://www.hexblog.com/2005/12/wmf_vuln.html

Ilfak has also written a little utility named:

WMF Vulnerability Checker

Tip: For those of you that have used the CMD:

regsvr32 -u shimgvw.dll

you can now run the CMD:

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

to restore the "Thumbnail" view in Windows Explorer and Window's Image and FAX viewer.
