What can I do to protect myself? Switch to another web browser, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. This is one of the recommendations from U.S. and U.K. Computer Emergency Readiness Teams from their national security agencies. Upgrade from Windows XP to a newer version of Windows. Microsoft ended support for XP earlier this month and will no longer be releasing security patches for it. Download and install Microsofts Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit. This is recommended by Microsoft. The toolkit adds extra obstacles to make it more difficult for cyberattacks to make use of software vulnerabilities. Follow other security best-practices. Microsoft recommends that you: Enable a firewall. Apply all software updates. Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Exercise caution when visiting websites and avoid clicking suspicious links or opening email messages from unfamiliar senders.
