It's buried in the article, but there is a link to a fix-it tool here,

Microsoft is hard at working crafting a patch to deploy to its testers. Microsoft's next patch day is still a ways away, though -- October 13. In the meantime it's offering users a "Fix-it" tool as a a stop gap solution. The automated tool, available here, will disable the SMB 2 code and prevent its exploitation. Microsoft and security firms are strongly urging users (that includes beta testers and enthusiasts running Release Candidate versions of Windows 7) to run the tool as soon as possible, though Microsoft believes there are no working attacks currently in the wild.

Just a reminder for those that missed it, this is for the RC and not the RTM versions.

Thanks, I've just ran the tool...it wouldn't run at first until I re-read the comments the other folks had posted at DailyTech - posting it here in case anyone else has problems.

To Run the fix files, Right click on the file (Enable MicrosoftFixit50307 or Disable MicrosoftFixit50304)> Select properties> Select the Compatibility tab> Select "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Previous version of Windows"> Click Apply> Click Ok

Now run the file (as admin), you will get a Security Warning and a UAC alert (assuming you haven't gone and disabled these security features). Click Yes for both.

To confirm that it ran, check your Registry as highlighted here under Workarounds: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory...
