" Run Internet Explorer in a secure sandbox. "
- From IntelliNavigator, Inc
Allows you to run Internet Explorer in a reduced permissions sandbox.
It removes the administrator, and power user groups from IE.
It seems that there is a new vulnerability found in Internet Explorer every day. This stems from the fact that it was designed to allow ActiveX controls to install just about anything on your PC.
Even with the most robust antivirus programs installed on your computer, you are still at risk of getting bad software installed on your system.
There are a few remedies:
1. Get off the Internet totally and go outside and ride your bike
2. Dump Internet Explorer, and start using FireFox all the time
3. Only login as a user that does not have administrative, or Power User rights.
These alternatives can be really painful. Especially if you have users that need administrative rights for many of the applications they use. In the same vein, FireFox is not always the solution either – there are still too many sites that do not support it.
Here's a compromise. It provides you the protection of a limited user account, but the ability to only run Internet Explorer in this sandbox. That way other applications that you know and trust suffer no ill consequences.
Let's start out by saying this will not keep all of the baddies out there from getting on your pc. When your hands are tied and you need administrative access, and must run IE – this is a decent compromise.
Here is how it works: It creates a shortcut to our reduced permissions application. This app in turn launches IE with the Power User, and Administrators groups removed from the process. Actually, the program that will execute anything with reduced permissions, but it is streamlined for IE.
First, download it. If you execute it without any command line options you will get an automatic installer. It will create a ‘secure’ shortcut to Internet Explorer on your desktop:
If you want to run other programs this way, just create a shortcut to the ReducedPermissions.exe with the first argument the full path of the exe.
