DEP Garbage

[Richard]

how do you turn off that DEP garbage on IE. cannot find an EXE for IE.

Cannot believe MS dumped such incomplete garbage into the market place.

Re: DEP Garbage

Try running IE with no addons. It's likely an addon that is causing the
problem.

Re: DEP Garbage

DEP isn't garbage. It overcomes an inherent weakness in the von Neumann
architecture which most modern processors (all PC processors) use, that
renders them prone to malicious corruption and hacking of the programs
stored in memory.

If you are getting DEP issues, that means it's doing its job and you are
using some software which misbehaves. As Kerry said, this is most likely a
badly written IE addon.

You would be wise to fix the underlying problem rather than hiding the
symptoms.

I can't believe that after more than five years of DEP being around people
still run such poorly written code as to get problems with DEP.
DEP is there to stop you executing data after a fault like a buffer
overflow.
It works very well too.
Turning it off is like uninstalling your AV software because it won't let
you run a program that has been infected.

Which would you do, fix the problem or turn off the warning?
