A bit silly - Microsoft would never prevent a genuinely insecure app from running!

I'm guessing an Explorer plug-in did something nasty.

 I'm vaguely familiar with "Safely Remove Hardware" - it's something like umount, right?  ;)

I know this is funney but Data Execution Prevention is a good feature introduced by SP2 to prevent exploitaion of buffer over-runs, I guess you tried to view in infected .gif or something in IE that tried to take advantage of a buffer over-run.

Not quite.  It's like doing "umount,"  then "eject," then turning off the power of the USB port temporarily.

Once in awhile you'll get those DEP messages for built in Windows programs. There is this one program that when installed, throws a DEP error for "Widnows installer" (msiexec.exe). It only happens when installing that one (can't recall what it is) program though.

Never got one for explorer.exe though!

i have seen what happens when you rename your shell(explorer.exe) thru dos
and then reboot :)
1 ton of fun !
it will say that "explorer can not find explorer" and it can not continue :)
and it will say that yo should FORMAT!
instead of  saying how to replace it :)

Wait a minute. Explorer can't find explorer.exe? How is that possible? Anyway, pretty funny.

:DOh and also, that picture is pretty funny.:D
