DEP settings
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that is supported by both hardware
and software and intended to prevent the execution of malicious code in the Microsoft
Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1 and
R2) operating systems.
The DEP settings determine which applications and components are covered by DEP
protection. They apply to both hardware-supported and software DEP features. On
computers with the necessary hardware capabilities, hardware-supported DEP features are
enabled for the same set of applications and components as the software DEP features.
The following table explains the possible DEP settings and if those settings are supported
by Rockwell Software products.
Rockwell Software recommends that you use the default DEP settings unless you have a specific
reason to change them.
