Anyone know wtf this program is and why it won't let me click to certain sites and sign into certain sites?

That's not a program...it's windows trying to protect itself from something potentially nasty the user (you) is trying to do.

I believe you can disable it in advanced system properties somewhere if you so choose.

EDIT: more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention
Windows is preventing the execution of code from a non-executable memory area.

Go to Start>Run, and type c:\boot.ini

You'll see a place that says /NoExecute=OptIn

Change that to /fastdetect

No good, it couldn't find c:\boot.ini

I was browsing on a site called "The Bleacher Report". I found an article on the Sabres and when I went to click on it to read it the Data Execution Prevention window popped out and redirected me off the site. :cry:

What browser are you using?
because if you're certain the error is caused by browsing to a page, it's either the browser of a plugin your browser is attempting to initiate that's throwing that error.

//of course it could also be any combination of malware / virus too.

BTW, I don't know what version of windows you're running, but in XP you can disable DEP like this:

right click on "my computer" --> properties --> Advanced --> Performance: click the "settings" button.
It's the tab on the far right.

Got it and thanks crosscheck.
After all this, I get on that Bleachers site and the article is written by local fans. :roll:

Go Figure. Maybe I'll write an article on how that site was not friendly to me ;)

Data Execution? I should hope not.
