The purpose of this article is to teach you the way to configure Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in windows XP. Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious code from memory locations that only Windows and other programs should use. To use DEP, your computer must be running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later. DEP does not help prevent harmful programs from being installed on your computer. Instead, it monitors your programs to determine if they use system memory safely.
