Default Data Execution Prevention - Closes Explorer for "Printers and Faxe

Except for the Adobe PDF printer, all printers from this computer (a laptop)
are attached to another computer and network accessed. FOr the first time
(at least in a long time), when I have attempted to print this evening, my
printers are unable to be found by the programs I use.

I went to investigate this by going to my "Printers and Faxes" folder with
the intent of uninstalling, then reinstalling one or more printers. However,
whenever I attempt to access the "Printers and Faxes" folder, I receive the
message that Data Execution Prevention has closed Windows Explorer in order
to protect my computer.

I looked at my restore point options to see if any updates are to blame, and
the only thing that I see on there that may be the suspect (i.e., the only
thing added in the last day) is a Software Distribution Service 3.0 update.
Before restoring my computer to offset this update and see if it is to blame,
I wanted to see if there are any other ideas out there - or others are
experiencing problems with this particular Windows update?

Thanks,
Zakhary
