Data Execution Prevention, or DEP, raises an exception if it detects
code loading from the default heap or stack. Since this behavior is
indicative of malicious code (legitimate code does not generally load
in this manner), DEP protects the browser against attacks rendered,
for example, via buffer overflow and similar type vulnerabilities.
DEP was first introduced in Windows XP Service Pack 2. Follow the
instructions below to enable DEP in Internet

Explorer v7.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 2 minutes

Here's How:
1. Open Internet Explorer v7
2. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3. Select the Advanced tab.
4. Scroll down and select the option to Enable memory protection to
mitigate online attacks
5. Click Apply then click OK to exit the program
