The fix will be done via automatic updates.

Don't start using IE until your machine is updated.

So is the problem only with XP users only or anyone using IE? I'm using Chrome at the moment but I keep forgetting & keep opening IE.

Anyone using IE is affected. XP was a concern for those who still had that operating system since support had ended in April, but Microsoft decided this one time to include XP users in the updates.
