Because Windows XP SP2 has added security features to
protect the computer environment (cyberspace) from the evil
people out there who have nothing better to do than write
viruses. The program you want to use does not conform to
the new "standard" and you'll have to set an exception (see
my other posts on Data Execution Protection).

The author of the encyclopedia program should re-write their
code so it conforms, Microsoft is not going to remove
security.
