Duqu "fix"

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

Duqu apparently uses a weakness in the (Windows) font parsing system as one of 
its entry points to a system.  Microsoft is still working on a final patch.

In the meantime, if you are concerned about it (and the danger level, at the 
moment, is fairly low), there is a temporary fix at 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639658

Using the "Enable" button may cause problems with the way some applications use 
fonts.

Caveat emptor.
