no, the WMF exploit was a zero day exploit that you cant stop with any existing security measures and it has been in every version of windows since 1990. The WMF exploit lets people run program on your computer when you open a picture any picture from a website, im, email etc.
There is a reason why this is such a big deal. Basically, for the past 16 years, windows has been completely unsafe to use online. The only people who knew were black hat hackers who were using this exploit to break into systems.
I keep a eye on what is running on my machine. I stealthed my machine on all ports and My Zone Alarm does not allow programs to access the net without my manual ok.
