Thanks for the quick response.

As well as the DEP problem, I am experiencing other difficulties..maybe a virus. Data Execute Prevention has shut down McAfee Validation Service resulting in not being able to run anti-virus scan- why would it close a anti-virus software?? Also, when browsing, I am being redirected to websites offering antivirus software etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Yes, the redirect is a definite indication of malware.
Can you download and run malwarebytes.
Can you run a scan with the online eset online scanner (no download needed)

When at the phoney site, do not click on anything, use task manager to end the process.

I am unable to download malwarebytes as I am being redirected. However, I was able to run the online scanner which cleaned 8 of 12 infections. Still not able to browse without being redirected.

Update: I managed to download/install malwarebytes- but not able to run is as I apparently 'do not have the appropriate permission'. Seems this virus is blocking anti-malware.

All typical symtoms.
Just be patient, she will be along as soon as she checks in. May I add, its worth the wait. I have seen her perform miracles. She will not get involved with Trojans, however, they can be too destructive and she suggests an reinstall, in those situations.
