Description
Alter Ego is a lightweight and handy application that makes certain programs such as browsers or e-mail clients run safer.
Modern Windows versions allow you to set up multiple users with differentiated rights, ranging from administrators to regular users.
For various reasons, ranging from default installation settings over the requirements of carelessly written software to laziness, most Windows users are using an user account with administrator privileges in their daily work.
Windows also allows you to run each application with the privileges of a chosen user account.
While we grudgingly accepted that we won't change people to use restricted user accounts in their daily work, we've decided to pursue a compromise: determine which applications are endangered the most, and allow the user to run those with restricted rights only.
Now, since comfort is the issue that's restricting most users, either directly or through people having set up their system, from using restricted user accounts, we tried to make this process to be as easy as possible, which resulted in Alter Ego.
