Evaluator Description
Per http://www.fortiguardcenter.com/advisory/FGA-2009-04.html:
"It should be noted that the victim does not necessarily have to open the malicious file for exploitation to occur: the vulnerabilities lie in a DLL that is also used as a plugin for the Windows Explorer shell. A successful attack could take place by merely previewing the IVR file through Windows Explorer. "
