  • 1.  DEP - Data Execution Prevention

    Posted Sep 27, 2009 12:24 PM
    Good day,

    My laptop running on Vista with a trial version of Norton antivirus/spyware is being prevented by the DEP in running the Live Update, tried turning off the DEP for said program but it cannot be turned off. I still have 60 days before my free trial version expires. how can i have an updated version of Live Update that is compatible with my DEP?

    thanks.
