User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI) blocks lower-integrity processes from accessing higher-integrity processes. For example, a lower-integrity process cannot send Windows® messages, or hook or attach to higher priority processes.

  • ActiveX® Control

  • Toolbar

  • Browser Helper Object (BHO)

  • Browser Extension
