Default RivaTuner protective system?

Hey everyone, well I am now using RivaTuner to OC, I stopped flashing my card because it works great but having to flash all the time takes a while. Anyways, during the installation setup, I am prompted to install or to configure their protective system, I always cancel it, however do any of you guys use it? Is it the fact that you use RivaTuner that exposes you to the problems they list or is it just like an extra feature? They give you some options such as protection for I/O to prevent unproperly designed applications to unproperly use your hardware.

"Improved installer. Now the installer allows altering PunkBuster related protective options, so you can easily disable the protections completely if you don’t play and games with PunkBuster or you can reduce protection level if you use some security related software products blocking protected processes activity."

Just like Data Execution Prevention (DEP).... I wouldn't use it; just another thing eating resources
