FAQ

Our systems are protected using limited user accounts. Why do we need Repelit?

Repelit adds an additional layer of protection to limited user accounts. 

In some businesses “Limited User Accounts” are used in an attempt to provide protection with very restrictive results to everyday computer use.

A limited user account is just not good enough against the new and more sophisticated forms of badware security threats plaguing computers today.  Sophisticated high level attacks can deliver badware to systems despite using a limited user account.  

Buffer overruns, missed security patches, in-memory attacks with an escalation of privileges allow badware to run with full system level privileges.  With system level privileges badware has full access to your computer but you, a limited user do not.  That makes cleaning off any badware almost impossible without a security app operating with administrator level privileges.  Now all a limited user account did was to limit the user-not the badware. 

Repelit adds another layer of protection to systems with limited user accounts.  Eliminating the problems with missing security patches, escalation of privileges and buffer overruns.  With Repelit you remain protected.
