Enable/Disable Enhanced Protection Mode In Internet Explorer

Latest IE (Internet Explorer) versions such as IE9, IE10 and IE11 are integrated with a security feature called Enhanced Protection Mode. The purpose of this mode is to enable the browser to diffuse the attacks and security threats from malwares. After you have enabled Enhanced Protection Mode in your IE browser, it will ensure that only the toolbars and add-ons that are compatible with the mode get loaded in your browser. Unfortunately, there are only a few toolbars that are compatible with IE’s Enhanced Protection Mode. If you want to load any toolbars or add-ons that do not work in Enhance Protection Mode, you have to disable the mode.

Once Enhanced Protection Mode is disabled, your IE browser will be capable of loading all toolbars and add-ons. Nonetheless, be reminded that disabling the mode will increase the security risks. Therefore, enable the mode once you are done with the purpose. The following steps explain how to disable Enhanced Protection Mode.
