The FixIT, when run, will automatically disable the Microsoft Video ActiveX Control.  More information, as well as the FixIT files themselves, can be found here:  https://support.microsoft.com/kb/972890

  I've already applied the fix-it for this vulnerability. Is it safe to applu the Automatic Update for it, or do I need to undo the Fix-it first? The "Undo fix-it" is longer available on the KB page for this.
