What Exactly does Data Prevention Execution do?

Whenever I try to play torrents on my computer, I get a Data Execution Prevention message, which closes the folder which contains the movie, and slows the computer down for a bit.

What Exactly does Data Prevention Execution do?
in my experience all it does is notify you when you open a file that you are actually trying to run something - i guess because alot of users run programs willy nilly without realising the risk of trojans and viruses so they need to be reminded that files are dangerous things.
