It can be used to create/remove Host Protected Area (HPA) (using command SET MAX) and create/remove DCO hidden area (using command DCO MODIFY). It also can do other functions on the DCO. Data Synergy's freeware ATATool utility can be used to detect a DCO from a Windows environment. Recent versions allow a DCO to be created, removed or frozen.
Computer manufacturers may use the area to contain a preloaded OS for install and recovery purposes (instead of providing DVD or CD media). Dell notebooks hide Dell MediaDirect utility in HPA. IBM ThinkPad and LG notebooks hide system restore software in HPA. HPA is also used by various theft recovery and monitoring service vendors.
DRAM memory may provide increased protection against soft errors by relying on error-correcting codes. Such error-correcting memory, known as ECC or EDAC-protected memory, is particularly desirable for highly fault-tolerant applications, such as servers, as well as deep-space applications due to increased radiation.
Disable Protected Mode in Internet Explorer. Protected mode is enable by default and may interfere with AOL Mail. If you're continuing to have trouble accessing mail, turn Protected Mode off: 1. Click Tools. 2. Click Internet Options. 3. Click the Security tab. 4. Deselect "Enable Protected Mode." 5. Restart Internet Explorer and sign in to AOL ...
1. In the Windows taskbar, next to the clock, right click the (M) icon, and then click Open SecurityCenter.2. In the McAfee window, click Fix.By doing this McAfee will identify the issue and try to fix it.
Likewise, every non-trivial computer needs some form of mutable memory to record changes in its state as it executes. Forms of read-only memory were employed as non-volatile storage for programs in most early stored-program computers, such as ENIAC after 1948. (Until then it was not a stored-program computer as every program had to be manually ...
A Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) is provided as a means for a system to store data to the specific memory area in an authenticated and replay protected manner and can only be read and written via successfully authenticated read and write accesses. The data may be overwritten by the host but can never be erased.
An attempt to access unauthorized [a] memory results in a hardware fault, e.g., a segmentation fault, storage violation exception, generally causing abnormal termination of the offending process. Memory protection for computer security includes additional techniques such as address space layout randomization and executable-space protection.
