Dan, Sure both methods will prevent many viri from taking over your computer, but notice there is a major difference. You obviously have not used a limited account before because usually software developed for Windows will require some configuration or settings change in order to correctly function under a limited account, with a few notable exceptions. This instead claims to create a sandbox where the functionality of an Administrator account is preserved without the harmful effects by using a virtual type of environment that is separate. I haven't used the software, but from the summary, that seems to be what was intended. Correct me if otherwise. feofil On 6/8/06, Dan Renner <dan () losangelescomputerhelp com> wrote:
