My students were never able to bypass Faronics Anti-Executable.
My favorite feature of Faronics Anti-Executable is its ability to
read an authorized executable’s ‘ngerprint’ so that even if one
tries to fool Faronics Anti-Executable with a renamed program
le, it will not execute. Very smart, indeed!
