Microsoft released official WMF patch: instructions provided

This is tedious, but please do:

1.    Reboot your system
2.    Run a Windows Update
3.    Reboot your system
4.    Go to Add/Delete Programs and uninstall your unofficial patch
5.    Reboot your system

The official bulletin can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-001.mspx

If you don't have access to a Windows update, you can still download the patch from the link provided above.

Microsoft initially claimed that they would release the official patch January 10. How crazy is that? 10 days without a patch for what critics call the worse hole in Windows ever! Pressure made them release it January 5, and all they did was to cut and paste the unofficial patch and embed it into the problematic DLL.
