bled] for WinXP.
► Execute-Disable Bit
This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature.
Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer
overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application
code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the
buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation.
Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks,
reducing the need for virus-related repairs. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus,
firewall, spyware removal, e-mail filtering software, and other network security measures, IT
managers can free IT resources for other initiatives.
► Hyper Threading Technology
This item is used to enable/disable the Hyper Threading Technology feature.
