Data Execution Prevention closes Microsoft Windows Search Protocol Host

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by Brandon Taylor, Sep 29, 2009.

  1. 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.
