Data Execution Prevention...

In laymen's terms, perhaps even less technical then laymen's terms..., can you tell me why, when I open certain folders on my computer (such as Mp3 or Jpeg folders) I get a pop up called "Data Execution Prevention" which states "To protect your computer, windows has closed this program." I press close and an error report is sent. 1. Why does this happen? 2. How can I fix/prevent this from happening again?
