Corrected erroneous information about EMET, but left original workaround in case readers don't trust a random person on the Internet
== Using Microsoft EMET ==
If you use microsoft [[Microsoft EMET ]] http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29851 as additional layer of protection , you need to protect Internet Explorer and Firefox in order to protect the Flash plugin. It does not appear to be necessary or sufficient to add EMET rules to protect executables in %systemroot%\system32\macromed\Flash because [http://www.rationallyparanoid.com/articles/microsoft-emet-2.html the only executables in that directory are uninstallers]. The Flash plugin runs as part of the Firefox plugin-container or the Internet Explorer process. If you want to protect those files anyway, it's bit of a hassle to add new player versions to EMET configuration (because EMET does not accept wildcards in executable filenames). Automate the process with this script:
<source lang="dos">
rem %PKG_SOURCE%\emet.cmd
