IE 7 Protected Mode stays Off
I'm having a problem where I can't turn On protected mode in IE 7. UAC is
On, and protected mode is checked in the internet options security zones settings. Any suggestions as to what I should look at? |

I've been able to resolve the Protected Mode (PM) issue - now IE 7 is starting in PM - but I'm having a problem where it crashes upon closing with a DEP error. This didn't happen in the past. When I start IE 7 "without add-ons" it closes normally, which suggests a problem with an add-on. I've done a full malware scan with a couple of good anti-malware apps and no infections are found. I've viewed all the BHO's and there's nothing suspicious - everything there is something I've intentionally installed and has worked in the past without problems. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot the add-ons? |

See this archived & related discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...4c30fa2f5e940d Chances are that one or more of your Add-ons (which can include hijackware-related Add-ons) is causing your problems. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ |

After I turned it On it didn't immediately work, but did so after another reboot. So far I've done full scans with SuperAntiSpyware and Norton Internet Security 2009. I'll try MBAM next and maybe something else that specializes in rootkit detection to see if anything shows up. |

Thanks for clarifying, Victek. PMIE and UAC work hand-in-glove, as you've discovered. |
