DropMyRights and Computer Security

Just in case malware does access your computer system, DropMyRights is a program that limits the damage that the malware can do. “A growing number of security tools are taking a new approach to fighting malicious software. Rather than blocking each virus, they aim to limit malware’s power to cause harm even if it gets in. One of the better free apps that adopts this preventive strategy is DropMyRights, a small program that opens selected programs under limited user rights.”

link: DropMyRights

There is a brief write up on that link about the development of this program. DropMyRights is effective for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I have had this program vetted by a team of nine (9) testers / reviewers. All comments were positive. Of course, the usual disclaimers apply to all such products. It is your responsibility. I have used this application for several months will no problems whatsoever. And the price is right - it’s freeware.
