Hi malware fighters,

There are other explorers not vulnerable to the Link Exploit, read about it here http://blog.eset.com/2010/07/23/link-exploits-and-the-search-for-a-better-explorer

The MS fix-tool can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2286198 (Not really a very cool solution when you have a lot of icons on the desktop, icons show as if they do not exist only when you click on them)
