You may still use other browsers to browse the Internet. Our Internet Protection Module (IPM) is configured on a Windows User basis.   How you configure the IPM security settings determines if you can access the another browser on your computer.  Please see the information below on how to configure the IPM.

What is the Internet Protection Module?

Our Internet Protection Module (IPM), when enabled, prohibits users from accessing the Internet through any means other than our Browser. It can also be configured to prevent users from accessing Instant Messenger programs, Windows functions and utilities that would allow someone to disable or uninstall the Browser and IPM.

It also prevents your kids from accessing the Internet through programs with built-in browsing capabilities such as, Microsoft Word and Excel. Internet Protection Module will still permit your children to use these programs, but it prevents your kids from using them to browse the Internet.

Our IPM can be enabled for any Windows user account defined on you computer. When enabled, any time a user attempts to access any application that has been banned for their Windows user account, the user is prompted that the IPM is Enabled, and that it has closed the banned application.
