When I switch to IE 8 as my browser and surf the Internet, I see at the bottom: Internet/Protected Mode: Off. Since I have all security checked to enable Protected Mode, why does it say at bottom of page "Internet/Protected Mode: Off"?

To whom it concerns I use ie 8 with windows 7 trying to log in to facebook and it would not let me do so Then I saw where it said internet protected mode on so I decided to turn it off and try Well what do you know it worked I can now use facebook but I know protected mode is meant to be on so it does as it says and protects my computer Is there any way I can leave protected mode on and allow it to let facebook work around it You know like a firewall where you leave it on but set it to allow certain web sites and programs to pass through it Any help and advice much appreciated sincerely Vikki
