And further information from the above link:

"Because this is an exploit only, there are no removal instructions,
since there is nothing to remove. This is a detection for the exploit,
preventing the execution of malicious content on your computer. By
detecting the exploit, it is prevented from running."

So get yourself to Windows Update and apply all critical security
patches for your Windows operating system.
