Developer’s Description

By Safer-Networking
Surf the web from a restricted user account.
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. Now, since comfort is the issue that is restricting most users, either directly or through people having set up their system, from using restricted user accounts, AlterEgo make this process to be as easy as possible. Alter Ego is an application that makes your browser, email application, instant messenger and multimedia player run safer with just three clicks.
