Abstract
A computer system and method are provided to intercept a task from a primary user account 121 prior to execution of the task by the computer device 200, where the task relates to an untrusted content. A task isolation environment 350 is provisioned for executing the task, including programmatically creating a secondary user account 121b on the computer device. A mapped network drive 420 of the primary user account 121 is determined and is automatically provisioned in the secondary user account 121b. Access to the mapped network drive 420 is controlled by an agent 300 on the computer device 200.
