The Gopher protocol is a legacy protocol that provides for the transfer of text-based information across the Internet. Information on Gopher servers is hierarchically presented using a menu system, and multiple Gopher servers can be linked together to form a collective "Gopherspace".

Customers can protect themselves against this vulnerability in IE by defining a non-functional Gopher proxy in Internet Explorer. This has the result of essentially disabling the Gopher protocol in IE by making it impossible for IE to send and receive Gopher traffic.
