DEP is happening in WinXP SP3. this is not a vista OS. It was a vista
machine and i deleted it and installed XP Pro.I have not added any copying
utility. this problem has just started happening. could it be a virus or
something? i have done a full scan using McAfee. i have windows defender
installed, and i have taken all the protection i can. it shows in the DEP
allert that windows copy utility is a window program

thanks
