Problem After MS Update - Data Execution Prevention?

ANHEDONIC · May 19, 2006

I'm on my sister's laptop and running MS Windows XP.... She's got her computer set to automatically download security updates... So it finished downloading one just now and when I tried to access Spywareblaster & Spybot S&D, I got this popup. Security wise the computer is pretty well protected, Avast AV, Sygate Firewall, Spywareblaster & Spybot's Immunize feature utilized.... I'd liketo disable this new MS Security feature however that can be accomplished..... Thanks for your help!

Okay so I've searched MS Help and figured out how to disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) for specific programs.... I've disabled it for Windows Explorer, since that was the program I was getting the pop up regarding... I'm assuming this is file? I really don't even understand this DEP security feature and whether or not it's even necessary....

Not noticed that anomalie before, is Spybot S&D uptodate?

but to disable DEP, right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced then click the Performance Setings button > DEP tab > turn off DEP or select turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" and add SB S&D.
