Whenever I try to open firefox, windows, it stops and says "data execution prevention has closed firefox. What can I do?

Can not open google chrome more.  It's really annoying.  Can you help me?

Please specify your Windows version by clicking on modify under your original message and then change the drop-down lists to indicate the correct version of Windows.

That means message that programs are trying to write to areas of the process address space that thinks Windows should not be written.  There is a protection that helps prevent malicious code to modify areas of memory that must be read-only and then execution of these regions to do something dangerous.

Is the error message has an option 'change settings '?  If so, click it, that a dialogue should open the program and you should be able to put a checkbox next to it.

Otherwise, right click on computer and select properties or press Windows key + R and in the open field, type

sysdm.cpl

and then press ENTER.  Select the Advanced tab, and then in the 'Performance' section, click settings.  Select the tab 'Data Execution Prevention'.  What do you see in this tab?

    2. What is the full error message that you receive?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you restart all services related to Windows update and check later if you can install the updates of Windows on the computer.

    To restart services required by Windows Update

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    1. Open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Administrative Tools.
    2. Double-click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. In the Services window, double-click in the Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
    4. Under the tab general , under Startup type, click Manual, and then click apply.
    5. Click the connection tab and make sure that the service is enabled in every hardware profile listed.
    6. Click the general tab, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    7. In the Services window, double-click Windows event log.
    8. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    9. Next to Service status, check whether the service is started. If not, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    10. In the Services window, double-click the Windows Update service.
    11. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    12. Next to Service status, check if the drive is listed. If not, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    13. In the Services window, double-click software licensing.
    14. Under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.
    15. Next to Service status, check if the drive is listed. If not, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    16. Close the Services window and try to install Windows updates again.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I would suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.

  • Whenever I try to open Documents Windows Explorer stops working

    I get a Windows Explorer has stopped working error.  This has started to happen after I upgraded my BitDefender 2011 to 2012 and updated my Java.  What this has to do with any of those things?  What should I do?  Someone help me please.

    Additional information 4: 4062ad41ec8067256aa4c5e2b56d3c79

    I'd say it's time to restore your computer to factory settings.  If you don't know how to do this, you must consult the manufacturer guide or the user's computer.  Be sure to back up data that you have on the computer before you do.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    Question
    Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is not defined (JavaScript Application). Certainly, Firefox is my default browser.
    After clicking on OK Firefox opens.

    You can probably get rid of it by disabling McAfee Site Advisor ending Firefox and then restarting Firefox and the reactivation of McAfee Site Advisor, ending at Firefox and restart Firefox. But it would probably be best to uninstall Site Advisor and reinstall (as opposed to the update)...

    Please see the solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
    "McAfee Site Advisor.

    (Windows): for best results, you need to uninstall McAfee Site Advisor from Control Panel > add/edit programs (programs and features). Restart the system. Then http://www.siteadvisor.com/ reinstalling and reboot the system. Installation of other waste (crapware) suggested applications.

  • Why do I get a script error whenever I try to open Firefox 4?

    Since the recent Firefox 4 download, I get this message while trying to open my browser:

    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends.

    Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595'

    It gives me options to continue or to stop the script. When I choose to continue, nothing happens. When I select the stop script, Firefox opens. The thing that annoys me the most, is that there is a checkbox "don't ask me" which doesn't seem to work because I was clicking that every time.

    It's the first time that this has happened for any version of Firefox.

    Looks like one of your addons (possibly the AVG Security Toolbar addon) may be incompatible with Firefox 4. Try disabling the addon. You may need to open Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to do this.
