IE7 two main security objectives are to protect user against malware and data safeguards. But it’s up to the user to learn about and use the different options.
Here’s one of those options:
Protected Mode: It’s designed to defend against “elevation of privilege” attack, which can prevent hackers from executing codes through the use of administrator rights. The protected mode is turned on by default, if is not, open IE7, click on Tools (upper right hand side), Internet Options, Security tab and place a checkmark on Enable Protected Mode. Close and restart IE7.
