DropMyRights comes from a Microsoft employee named Michael Howard. Mr. Howard is a specialist in security, working in the Secure Engineering group at Microsoft. Among his many credits is co-authoring a book called Writing Secure Code. In short, it comes from a trustworthy source.
Mr. Howard released DropMyRights back in November 2004, so if there were any problems with it, they would surely have been discovered by now. But problems were unlikely as DropMyRights is a small, relatively simple program and Mr. Howard went so far as to release the source code. The tires have been well kicked on it.
Unlike most security software, DropMyRights does not need constant updating. In fact, it doesn't need any updating at all. You just install it and forget about it.
And, did I mention that it's free?
