>If you’re on a build of Windows that has User Account Control as an option, enable it (it should be on by default, in most cases.) This won’t fix the bug outright, but it’ll throw up a big permissions prompt that’ll remind you not to open mystery files. Default UAC option in Windows 7 and later is "Notify me only when applications try to make changes to my computer". That option is problematic because of various ways to exploit built-in apps to bypass UAC. "Always notify" is slightly less convenient but much more secure option.
