WARNING:

I have yet to personally test this, so take the usual precautions
From the Internet Storm Center:

Update 1: This tool currently only protects against LNK files and does not protect against PIF based exploits. It also does not protect against LNK files or targets stored on the local disk. Thanks to ISC reader Gerrit for the additional information.
