Download Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit 5.5

Microsoft has released version 5.5 of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit. EMET is a free program that can protect Windows and third-party programs against known and as-yet-unknown exploits by forcing them to use certain security methods in Windows, such as Address Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention. This makes the program comparable to, for example, HitmanPro.Alert and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. The changelog for version 5.5 shows the following improvements and changes:

EMET 5.5 release includes new functionality and updates, including:

• Windows 10 compatibility
• Improved configuration of various mitigations via GPO
• Improved writing of the mitigations to the registry, making it easier to leverage existing tools to manage EMET mitigations via GPO
• EAF/EAF+ perf improvements
• Untrusted font mitigation for Windows 10
