I'm guessing that like others on campus, we starting seeing a larger volume
of user profile viruses beginning this fall that were proving to be quite
the headache. Our solution was to force DEP to execute in OptOut mode
instead of its default of OptIn on Microsoft's workstation OS's. It's proven
extremely effective in stopping the bulk of these exploits before they have
a chance to execute. If you aren't familiar with DEP, here is some reading I
would recommend: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352

You'll need to do some extensive software testing before you roll it out,
but it is possible to set up process exclusions if you do hit a conflict.
Older java applications are the worst about this, but I have found that
replacing the jvm.dll file in the JRE with one from JRE1.6 through JRE 1.6u9
(anything after that is a major overhaul and doesn't work) fixes
compatibility. I wrote this script and set it to execute at system shutdown,
but system startup should work as well. I wouldn't recommend adding it to a
user logon script since it requires admin rights.

I didn't write any error handling for systems that don't support the NX bit
as we don't have those in our environment. Keep that in mind if it is the
case for you.
