I'm asking here because uk.comp.misc seems pretty much moribund, and there are people here who will know.
Security of home computers seems to be much in the news lately, with hackers getting more adept at doing what they do. Two questions:
I have seen a reference to Microsoft's Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET). Does anyone here have experience of it? Is it any better than MS's Security Essentials, which doesn't seem to rate very highly any more? Is EMET an anti-malware system in itself or just an adjunct to other anti-malware systems?
I have also seen reference to Password Safe, for storing and auto-filling user names and passwords securely. Is this any more secure than the system available with browsers such as Firefox etc, that store user names and passwords and require a master password for access?
