Will be fixed in the next beta build and should be released before too long.
To be honest, I don't understand what they are saying. ???

what they are saying is if you are running under a restricted user profile (no admin rights), you can, by using the outpost systray icon, access a shell
with SYSTEM rights.
Then you can do all that you wants as if you were the administrator, scary.

That requires physical access, right?

Normally, yes :)

but with a little imagination, i can perfectly think to a trojan using the outpost pro systray to start a hidden shell with system rights, and then using this shell...

anyway, this is very unlikely to occurs, but it's possible ;)
