You really shouldn't go and download an exe you know nothing about.

Use built-in Windows features to immune yourself:
Start > run > regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

To re-enable the dll, just do:
Start > run > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

....

A side-effect is that it will disable viewing of thumbnails in Windows image thingy-whatever-ma-jick. Just use another image viewing program to do such a thing.

Thats not a full fix. It just makes it harder to trigger the vulnerability.

However, I believe MS have released their patch now. (It does exactly them same thing as the 3rd party one)
