How to enable Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP) in Windows operating systems

>>>>>> SEHOP <<<<<<

Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 now include support for Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP). This feature is designed to block exploits that use the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) overwrite technique. This protection mechanism is provided at run-time. Therefore, it helps protect applications regardless of whether they have been compiled with the latest improvements, such as the /SAFESEH option. We recommend that Windows users who are running any of the above operating systems enable this feature to improve the security profile of their systems.

Thanks, Dorset, I've just added the value to the registry on my Win 7 Mcs.
