Re: FixIt from AvanQuest - Data Execution Prevention - Microsoft Wind

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

try running sandboxie by itself, to see if the error pops back up. This
could also be a sign of OS corruption.

If you are using the recommended security settings and your antivirus
software did not detect a threat, your computer is probably not under
attack.
It's better to see if a DEP-compatible version of the program is
available,
visit the software publisher's Web site. If you turn off Data Execution
Prevention (DEP) for a specific program, it might become vulnerable to
attack.

To turn off DEP for a particular program:
1. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the
Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer
is
connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you
from
completing this procedure.
2. To open System Properties, click Start, click Control Panel, and then
double-click System.
3. Click the Advanced tab and, under Performance, click Settings.
4. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
5. In the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select
list, do one of the following:
To turn off DEP for a program, select the check box next to the program
name
and click OK. (If the name of the program doesn't appear in the list,
click
Add, navigate to your Program Files folder, select the program's
executable
file which will have an .exe file extension, and click OK).

To turn on DEP for a program, clear the check box next to the program
name,
and then click OK.

I was trying to install 'FixIt' Express version 7.113 from AvanQuest
and the following message was displayed:

'To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.
Name: Windows Installer
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation

Data Execution Prevention helps protect against damage from viruses
and other security threats. What should I do (underlined link)'

I have never seen a message like this and FixIt is supposedly a
reputable program.

All assistance is appreciated.
