See

The workaround is:
A workaround called REGSVR32 has been posted and was included in Microsoft's
advisory. The workaround is as follows, as quoted from the advisory:
Un-register the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (Shimgvw.dll)
1. Click Start, click Run, type "regsvr32 -u %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll"
(without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
2. A dialog box appears to confirm that the un-registration process has
succeeded.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
Impact of Workaround: The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer will no longer be
started when users click on a link to an image type that is associated with the
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
