How do you turn off protected mode in Internet Explorer 7/8?

Question

My Internet Explorer keeps bringing up an allow/not allow security window for everything I click on. How do you turn it off?

Answer 1

I strongly suggest that you don't turn protected mode off, but I will tell you how to turn it off. Go to tools, then click on the security tab, then look for a box with a check, Untick that box and click apply, then restart Internet Explorer.
