Resolved Protection mode off?

billberry12 · 2010/07/27

When I go to internet explorer, taskbar shows Protected mode: Off. But when I go the the Security tab, the box is checked for it to be on. I run MSE, and that's all, which I know turns off Windows defender. Is this what's going on?

Is this anything I need to be concerned about?

Thanks,

Bill

There are several scenario's in which Protected mode will be off:

Running IE with Administrator privileges

Viewing local HTML pages

User Account Control (UAC) is disabled

I had UAC off. I turned it back on and solved the problem.
