Data Execution Prevention

[Guest]

A Dell laptop I upgraded to SP2 now causes a Data Execution Prevention error
on Generic Host Process for Win32 Services. I also get a write error for
svchost32.exe, I assume is the same.

Where do I start to fix this? Machine is unusable as the error generates
over and over.

I am a new user. MY DEP is set to protect Windows programs only, but that's the problem! I get the "Close" message whenever I go to "Control Panel," and am unable to set up "Startup" options for the same reason. It's Windows Explorer that is being closed. Help?

In case any other new users run into this same problem, here's how it finally
got fixed: Someone suggested to me that the Windows Firewall and Norton
Security were inadequate, and that I should install Ad- Aware. I did so, and
