Data Execution Prevention closes Microsoft Windows Search Protocol Host

I am running Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 1, and almost
every time I shut down Microsoft Outlook 2003, Data Execution Prevention
pops up a few minutes later and tells me that it has shut down Microsoft
Windows Search Protocol Host because it was using memory incorrectly.
What's the issue here, and what can I do about it?

See what has added itself to DEP. Then do a virus scan. And hope you have a
virus program that can detect what's caused the damage.

Having a good memory as to when this started, and what you installed then would
also help determine the actions to take.
Vscan comes up clean, take a look in your events and see what errors were
occurring when the DEP kicked in.

You might also look in the add/remove section and see what windows updates were
installed at that time. It may be as simple as removing a windows update.

My guess, you have vista SP2 with win explorer8. And I'm not going to debate
facts. Both of those updates made my vista run like a snail.
I removed them and told the updates section to NEVER install them or remind
again.
