    Data Execution Protection

    My firefox keeps freezing and will end up shutting down and I keep getting a data execution protection error. Is there any way to avoid this or change a setting so this stops happening? It's getting extremely annoying.

    Thanks guys

    The following links may help you sort this out:

    How to check for DEP, enable and/or modify its privileges:

    If Windows closes an application with a Data Execution Prevention error message (or any serious error on a regular basis), you can add that application to the exclusion list, as explained above.
    ... neither Mozilla Firefox nor Opera support DEP.

    If DEP is important to your sense of Internet security, IE 7 is the only major browser that supports it — until the other applications provide support for this feature.
