official suggestion :
Configure EMET for Internet Explorer from the EMET user interface
- To add iexplore.exe to the list of applications using EMET, perform the following steps:
- Click Start, All Programs, Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit, and EMET 3.0.
- Click Yes on the UAC prompt, click Configure Apps, then select Add. Browse to the application to be configured in EMET.
- For 32-bit installations of Internet Explorer the location is:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
- Note For 32-bit systems, the path is c:program filesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe
- For 64-bit installations of Internet Explorer the location is:

- Click OK and exit EMET.
but its best idea to dont use internet explorer until Microsoft release a patch for this vulnerability till then use google chrome or mozilla firefox
