I want to protect K9 Web Protection process

Hi, Chris. I haven’t read through any of the K9 support articles yet. What do they have to say about preventing the user from turning K9 off?

Edit: There seem to be some great tips on http://forums.bluecoat.com/viewtopic.php?p=14404#p14404, including:

- give your children a separate LIMITED windows user account - make sure program installation is FORBIDDEN in your children's account - put a password on ALL administrators accounts (don't forget the hidden administrator account)

There are lots of other tips too. Check them out. It may depend on your OS, but does Windows allow a limited user to terminate a SYSTEM level process?

He has a standard user a/c and k9 has stopped working so I was just thinking if he know of some way to stop k9 from working

Thanks for the links

I am already in touch with them and they told me to tell them my software configurations so they can see what is the problem

You’re welcome, Chris. Good luck!

If K9 Web Protection process is killed, the Internet connection will be “dropped”, you can’t use http…

Hmmm… Is K9 being killed or he want to kill it deliberately?
