Stack heap protection prevents buffer run test, something popular on older generations of Windows such as Windows XP and 2000. Internet Explorer in Windows 7 features protected Mode and Phishing filter that prevents web applications unauthorized access to your system and keeps the sand from browser web boxed the rest of the system.

-Cannot run the latest versions of modern programs such as Microsoft Office and future programs.
