Hi and Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum:

What is Data Execution Prevention?
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps to prevent
damage on your personal computer (PC) from viruses and other security
threads.

“Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known
as execute) code from your computer's memory reserved for Windows and other
authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure
that they use computer memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your
computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.”

Microsoft Corporation.

This is not Microsoft. It is a peer community of *users*. This is not
a forum. It is *Usenet* to which Microsoft provides a gateway to
pretend they have forums. Consider discarding the webnews-for-dummies
interface to microsoft.* newsgroups.

What is Usenet:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups

http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp
If you use a webnews client, like Microsoft's Communities or Google
Groups, those are gateways to Usenet.

What are you smoking? This NEWSGROUP is not accessible via

Why didn't you just post that link or at least reference it in your post?

And I see that a moderator pointed out that
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/.../vistasecurity is a
Vista-specific forum.
