OLE/COM

OLE (object linking and embedding), formerly developed for cooperation of applications when creating documents, has later on been extended to a complete system - COM. The Component Object Model (COM) is a technology that combines the benefits of object-oriented programming with binary reuse, language independence, version-ability, self-registration, and ease of licensing. However, since the COM technology covers such topics as ActiveX, inter process communications and distributed COM, it could also be very dangerous if misused. Sandbox can control the COM usage by a particular application with the following access rights:

• COM Initialization
• Create in-process servers
• Create local servers
• Create remote servers
