AMUST eCondom for Internet Explorer

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the clever-names-and-other-nonsense dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Irish Dev is reporting that AMUST Software recently announced the release of their 'eCondom for Microsoft Internet Explorer.' From the article: 'eCondom reduces and eliminates the risks by allowing users to run Internet Explorer in SafeBrowse mode. It works similar to Run As command in Windows XP, and forces a user to use Internet Explorer under User account, even if he/she is logged in under Administrator account. Unlike Run As command eCondom normally does not reduce Windows XP usability and flexibility, and does not downgrade users Internet experience while making Internet browsing much more secure and safe.'"

    Using IE without an eCondom leaves the chance of ending up with unwanted bastard processes...plus you might catch some nasty viruses.

    So yes, I would say they chose that name correctly. It seems to work the same way...
