From a recent  Gizmo's Tech Tips newsletter:

 

A previous tip  described the very useful security software from Microsoft
called "Enhanced Mitigation

Experience Toolkit" (EMET). Microsoft just released a new version 4.1. EMET
is designed

to help prevent hackers from gaining access to your system. It hardens your
system

against various exploit techniques by making programs run in a restricted
mode. Because

EMET uses general security methods, it does not have to be updated with
signatures

for known viruses or for the characteristics of specific programs. EMET
works with

Windows XP SP3 and up, including Windows 8. It requires .NET Framework 4.0.
The updated

version can be installed over existing previous versions.

A description and download link is at

this Microsoft link

.There is also a download link for a PDF User's Guide. Windows 8 systems
will need

the compatibility update given

at this link

.
