Re: Microsoft Security Advisory (2847140)said by StuartMW:You've tried it (the exploit)? Sorry. No, I haven't tried this exploit with EMET. Only that Microsoft recommends using EMET to help prevent the exploit on IE8. |

Well you can't right now EMET will keep you safe until the patch is out. |

For those upgrading you would want to deselect the every-so annoying BING and MSN defaults. |

And if you're on WinXP and can't go beyond IE8? |

Everyone should be using EMET No worries! I agree! I had only a few applications that I had to customize EMET for. The default configuration would either cause the apps to crash or simply not run. 95% of the time I completely forget that it's running. |

Slowly trying to wean my parents off of Internet Explorer 8 in favor of Opera. They are finally beginning to use it, but prefer IE8. I'll try some other browsers like Firefox, and Chrome on XP shortly as Opera tends to eat up a lot of memory after long browsing sessions. It almost appears slower than IE8 which seems odd. |

If I had to use an alternate Browser when IE could not be used I would lean toward Mozilla Firefox. |

FF is my primary browser. It runs under EMET though.
I've had a few apps crash, when starting, under EMET but nothing consistent. It consumes next to no resources, barely needs configuring, and is free yet I know of only a handful of people that use it. Oh well... |

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
If I install EMET on a computer with 1-3 standard users, does it have to be configured for each user, or will configuring it in the admin account cover all users? If it has to be configured in standard accounts individually, does it have to be done "run as admin" or can the standard user configure it?
Thank you.
Sincerely, Libra |

Pretty sure configuring under Admin covers all users. I know EMET is running on one non-Admin account on one of my machines. PS: Just checked and EMET uses the same settings for all user accounts. (They're kept in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EMET) |
