Programs close very frequent for Data Execution Prevention

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats by monitoring your programs to make sure they use system memory safely.Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

This happened to me very frequent. For example, when using IE, FF and Opera, the web browser suddenly terminate, and closed. The same cases also appear, while working with Adobe, MSOffice, OpenOffice.

I open Task Manager and found strange program "in my opinion", DOIMEK.EXE.
The file reside in User's home directory. I watch another file exist with same size to ALG.EXE, with SHR attributes, and dated 2010-10-21.

I run msconfig, in Startup tab, unchecked Doimek.exe and one other name that I forgot, to not load at start.
After rebooting, still...CPU Usage is too high for long time, specially for doimek.exe


No relevant results while Googling doimek.exe and alg.exe, at time of writing this post, probably I am wrong with those file, but I have remove them from my machine, and CPU Usage is decrease.

Pinging General Failure after uninstalling Norton

My machine has Vista installed and Norton as anti virus and for internet security.
I just remove Norton by using Uninstall in Vista's Control Panel and could not found
any uninstallation program that come with it.
The anti virus has gone, but two Live Update still reside as Service and one service named like Symantec Application ... ( I forgot the complete name). They could not be uninstalled. I leave them as is, than try to work with my local web with results:

- My local web could not be reach.
- Try with three kinds of different software databases to test local connection, no success.
- Try a ping command to domain name, even localhost or 127.0.0.1, come with General Failure reply.
- As administrator try to reset winsock and IPv4:
C:\Windows\System32>netsh winsock reset catalog
C:\Windows\System32>netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
C:\Windows\System32>netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
restart the machine, still General Failure.

Then I arrived here and use it to completely remove Norton software.
It works again.

Vista Batch File and Command Prompt

I have a problem to edit .bat file on Vista, but can run by double-clicking on it.
An error message appears when trying to edit the file through Windows Explorer.

I downloaded .zip file from here, then unzipped. Right-click on batfix_vista.REG file then select Merge will fix batch file association.
Right-click to edit with Notepad and double-click to run, work as expected. Here a list of file associations for Vista.

One more...sometimes, we want to display a command prompt in accordance with the location of the folder from Windows Explorer. For this purpose press the SHIFT key + right-click then select Open Command Window Here.

Delphi 7 on Windows Vista

Borland Delphi 7 was released in 2002 and perhaps you may still use this software. If we run it on Windows Vista, an error raised with the following message "Unable to rename C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Delphi32.$$$ to Delphi32.dro".

I thought that was about security access/permission. With Administrator privilege, I did these:
1. Right click on C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7 directory, then click Properties.
2. On General tab, clear the Read-Only attribute then press Apply (all files including subdirectory).
3. On Security tab, Check or give Full Access to Users.
4. Click Apply.

That's all.
