and Disabled (for the Windows OS).

Execute Disable Bit (Available if supported by the OS & the CPU)

Set to Enabled to enable the Execute Disable Bit to allow the processor to designate

areas in the system memory where an application code can execute and where it

the processor or damage the system during an attack. The default is Enabled.

(Refer to Intel and Microsoft Web Sites for more information.)
