Data Execution Prevention

by aztzu Jan 4, 2006 8:21AM PST

I have Win. XP with sp2. An e machine T5026 Pent. 4 512MB. I was reading on your site and started to close it and my computer said it needed it close IE, Then it shut down and restarted. And I have this big box in the middle of my screen that says Data Execution Prevention- Microsoft Windows To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program. Name Windows Logon UI Publisher microsoft Corp. then 2 boxes Change settings . and Close Message. It will not let me close the message. If I click change settings, It tells me not to do that. I have Norton AV, Webroot spy sweeper which i just did a scan with, Spyware blaster, Ad aware, Spy Bot Microsoft anti spyware, spyware doctor, Ewido. What is this? How do I get rid of it? thanks. Oh i can still read my email and use IE. Just have to move this box out of the way. Barb

I went to the site and read what it said. I clicked on close the window for the 100th time. And this time it worked. I don't know if this was all a glitch or not. But it is gone now. I printed out what the site said if it comes back. Thank you very much for responding so quickly. These things can be so frustrating at times. Barb

have the problem again, it is probably just one certain program that is causing it so if it persists, you might be better off posting the question in the XP forum because I don't think there is a virus problem with this and the gurus that hang around in the XP forum could probably help you better.
