Abstract
A computer device and method are provided to handle COM objects. A COM creating unit intercepts a request for creation of an elevated COM object by a first user process, determines whether the first user process is entitled to access the COM object, and creates the COM object without elevated privileges. A COM implementing unit intercepts a second user process that implements the COM object, confirms that the second user process is entitled to access the COM object and elevates the privilege level of the second user process to implement the elevated COM object.
