RunSafe: Run any program as a Windows limited user

GetData Launches RunSafe Pro Providing Unlimited Security As Limited User

GetData Software Company has launched a simple but powerful desktop drag-and-drop security tool providing high level security for applications that access the internet.

Sydney company GetDatas RunSafe Pro allows computer users to drag-and-drop an unlimited number of application icons into its desktop security window, providing high level security against viruses, malware and hackers.

To launch RunSafe Pro (US$19.95), GetData is offering a free version of the basic program, RunSafe, from the RunSafe website (www.runsafe.com) which allows up to three applications to be dragged in to the RunSafe desktop window.

RunSafe Pro provides a special security window to get around the vulnerability a user faces running their computer in the default administrator mode.

One of the greatest security risks to home and small business PC users is that most of us log into our computers with Administrator Access user permissions which leaves you vulnerable despite various protection software that you might be using, explained GetData director Graham Henley.

The following are the recommended programs to drag and drop in to RunSafe desktop security window for optimum security:

MS Messenger, Skype, Outlook, Outlook Express, Azureus, Poco Mail, Firefox
Internet Explorer, Opera, Windows Media Player, iTunes, QuickTime Player, WinAMP
FileZilla, WinRAR, WinZIP.

It also provides security for Chat programs (e.g.. MSN, Yahoo Chat, ICQ, Instant messenger, GAIM etc.).

How To Test This Additional Security

You can test this additional security, which allows you to run your computer, not as a potentially vulnerable Administrator but as a Limited User, by running Outlook from within RunSafe and trying to open an attachment.

You should be prompted by a window that asks you for approval to open the attachment.

Runsafe has detected a secure program. Do you want to allow this?

You have three options - Always Allow, Allow or Block.

Normally, you would simply click Allow. But if you are confident that you trust the running program (e.g Adobe), then you may choose to click Always allow.

Go to www.runsafe.com to download the FREE version (limit of three application icons).
