[QUOTE="Ink, post: 296334, member: 3"] CryptoPrevent conflicts with Spotify, and with over [URL='https://press.spotify.com/uk/information/']40 million user worldwide[/URL] it's not likely to go down well. EMET is good, but I've heard it can be a pain to set-up and configure. An alternate could be Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free, or if you use a paid security suite (for example: Kaspersky, ESET). I strongly recommend that any Windows and Mac OS X user to utilise and reap the benefits of any [B]reputable Antivirus [/B]software. If you prefer not to use one, make sure you have adequate [B]backup and recovery[/B], and or operate in an [B]isolated environment[/B] (ie. Sandboxie). Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 users should keep [B]UAC on at least default settings[/B], password-protect the Admin user account and all users to be limited to a [B]Standard user account[/B]. Of course, this is not a foolproof system as some software, web browsers and extensions can still be installed without admin privileges. Any Windows XP (SP0, SP1, SP2, SP3 and unofficial SP4) users to switch to a supported OS (ie. Windows 8.1, Mac OS X Yosemite, any current Linux distro). [/QUOTE]
