Protected Mode not working??

Last week I was running IE7 and noticed that even though the "Enable
Protected Mode" tick box under Tools > Internet Options > Security was
properly checked the Status Bar at the bottom of the main screen said
"Protected Mode: Off". So I installed IE8, but it still said the same. So
I reset the security level to "Default" and re Set the tick box, clicked
Apply, and restarted IE and the status bar still says the protected mode is
off. What is going on here? What can I do about it.
