If you have ever used RunAs utility, which is supplied
together with the Windows, then SafeLauncher is the
best choice for you. SafeLauncher may be considered as
the container for the applications you usually use.
You may add any application into this container and
execute it under the required account. It has a nice
user interface and provides you with a fast and simple
way of running the applications. Use the icon in the
system tray, the main window of SafeLauncher or
shortcut to run the application from the container.
When you minimize SafeLauncher it disappears leaving
the icon in the system tray. This icon may be used for
fast execution of any application in the container.
Context help together with detailed documentation will
make your acquaintance with SafeLauncher quick and
easy.
People often work on their computers under the account
which belongs to the local administrators group. But
not everybody realizes that any program he or she runs
may do whatever it wants with their data. For
instance, when you run the Internet Explorer you
believe that it has nothing to do with your data, but
due to vulnerabilities inside it there is a chance
that some malicious code downloaded from the web site
could be executed inside the Internet Explorer. So we
end up with a 'malicious program' running on your
computer with unlimited privileges. Sure the antivirus
software can detect that and fire an alarm, but most
of the time this happens with well known malicious
code and the antivirus has nothing to do with the code
which it sees for the first time. In this case, a
better solution is to run the Internet Explorer under
the account that doesn't belong to the administrators
group and has fewer privileges than the account you
are usually working under. So even if the malicious
code gets executed it will fail to steal any data or
infect your computer. In the worst case the Internet
Explorer application gets crashed.
