hatsumi Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi allbit of an odd question here. I noticed the other day that someone I work with was launching Internet Explorer via task manager on one of the PCs in our learning room. He was in the guest account (XP Home) and it seemed a bit odd as the icon for IE is on the desktop along with firefox. He seemed to be opening and closing IE while keeping task manager open.Is he using some kind of exploit to get round the blocked website list built into the router? The learning room's internet connection is not linked to the company network, it is on a 4 port router with three other PCs and goes straight to a dedicated phone line.I'm not very good with networking stuff so I'm just wondering. Tried googling but can't find the right search terms.Thanks for any help anyone can offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 You can launch programs from Task Manager in the file menu. The local browser cannot bypass a network filter.Its not an exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
