Hello, computer-almost-illiterate asking for help here.
Recently, as in roughly a week now, I've been having serious problems with something called Data Execution Prevention. Basically, it's causing me real headaches when I try to navigate certain sites -- including this one. The problem is particularly noticeable over at OneManga.com, where I can no longer use the handy drop-down menus to get from one page to another, non-consecutive page in a chapter, or to another chapter entirely. When I try to do so, the computer gives me an error message that D.E.P. has closed Internet Explorer to protect my computer. Then either the tab recovers to the page I was on, so I've accomplished nothing but waste time, or it asks me if I want to recover to that page, wasting even more time. The only way to get from page 13 to page 7, or to page 27, is one page at a time. To get to another chapter, say to confirm that the monster we see in chapter 222 is the same we saw in chapter 171, we have to go all the way out to the big chapter list first.
The definitions given for D.E.P., both in Windows Help and on Wikipedia, suggest it might be something that could be good to have -- except that it's screwing up my computer experience and on the way to giving me ulcers from sheer rage. There's supposed to be a way I can adjust it to allow the functions I want, but I can't figure out, from the instructions provided, how to make it allow drop-down menus. And as I said at the start, they were working fine until just a week or so ago.
Incidentally, this is my second try at posting this, because my first time, I decided to change the sig and D.E.P. promptly closed the draft post with the words:
Edit: Please don't call me an idiot -- I already know that -- or tell me to get the CENSORED off your Internet.

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
