My understanding is that this vulnerability is in WMF graphics, which are an oddball format that only Winblows supports. Turn off WMF support. That won't protect you -- Windows recognizes any file with a certain header within the file as a WMF and processes it accordingly even if the file name doesn't end in ".WMF".

OK, so I ran the fix from hexblog and rebooted.
But when I ran their detection tool afterwards, I still got the bad news.
"Your system is vulnerable to WMF exploits".
