The protected mode is a feature of Internet Explorer (IE) 7+. It prevents the computer from saving the files and programs of a Web site. Protected mode makes it difficult for malware to be installed. In case such a program is installed, it makes difficult for the program to damage a user's file and other operating system files. Protected mode is enabled by default for Internet, local intranet, and restricted sites. However, it is not enabled for trusted sites.
