It prevents common expliot methods.

 

It is not a comprehesive anti virus (you still need that) but adds another layer of protection for virus writers to contend with.

 

BTW if you use Thunderbird email client EMET 5.5 will make it run really slow. This can be fixed by disabling EAF and enabling EAF+.
