    Hello hkelly00,
     
    Welcome to the Community Forum,
     
    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature built into the Windows operating system. It is designed to close programs that it detects as viruses or other security threats. Depending upon your CPU, DEP runs in either a hardware-enhanced mode or a software-enhanced mode.
     
    You can run this enabled with Webroot without any problems. I wouldn't turn it off IMO.
     
     
    Hope this helps!
