If the vendor supplied patch is not available or installation is not feasible, the following steps can be used to limit exposure.
1. Implement a firewall
2. Install Anti-virus and Spyware detection software and ensure definitions are kept current
3. Check for software updates on a regular basis; if updates are available apply them as soon as possible
4. Use vigilance when opening HTML formatted emails, following links embedded in emails or links from an unknown source
5. Use a non-administrative privileged account for general tasks
6. Do not open files/links from untrusted or unconfirmed sources
