If you need a good software firewall, search for pf2.exe on google and get version 2.0.15... the last freeware version.

I think that would solve the problem.. But i didnt really post this to figure out how to protect myself.. There are scammers out there installing dialers and proxies to people's computers. I'm just surprised that an exploit that works since IE5 still isn't fixed.
First I was searching google for the pieces of code, but only getting info about the IE5 exploit, and it would say the windowsupdate patches would fix it, blah blah... Now on securityfocus i found the same exploit and they also say that there is no patch for this.. I'm just pissed that its so easy to hack someones pc and do whatever you want with it..
