Solution
It has to do with Microsoft XML core services. From what I've studied, it is malicious, and may cause trouble. Microsoft has published a cure for it = check if you have any critical / important updates missing. It's originally from July 2012, Microsoft Security Advisory (2719615): Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Remote Code Execution, meaning that if you have updates in order --- it shouldn't be a problem "anymore".

To make a long story short: CHECK your updates.
