Microsoft’s Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) was a free tool that allowed Windows users additional security protection against hackers.

Microsoft released a statement stating its Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) would be supported until July 31st 2018.  Microsoft recommends updating devices to Windows 10 since the toolkit’s protections are built into the operating system and provide better protection.

EMET can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54264. A user guide is available at www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53355
