FOR SECURITY REASONS THIS VERSION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

PLEASE NOTE: Initially on this page the testing version of SEB 2.2 was placed for download and not SEB 2.1.7. Please uninstall SEB 2.2 and use the final release SEB 2.1.7 which can be downloaded below now.

SEB 2.1.7 for Windows is an important security update. This SEB version fixes a problem with Chrome and some other web browsers which could display notifications while SEB was running. This security issue was induced by SEB 2.1.6 for many SEB users. We recommend an immediate update if you're using SEB 2.1.6 or you configured SEB to use the "Disable Explorer Shell" kiosk mode. In addition, SEB 2.1.7 improves handling permitted and prohibited processes in general and blocks prohibited processes more securely.

  • Now adding list of prohibited (browser) processes automatically to all config files which SEB Client or SEB Config Tool opens, unless a prohibited process with the same name already exists. If you need to allow one of these processes, then just deselect the "Active" flag of that process in the list of prohibited processes.
  • Automatically disabling Chrome notifications using a Registry setting.
  • Added new settings sub-key originalName to permitted and prohibited processes.
  • Improved detecting permitted and prohibited processes, file name extensions are now stripped from executable and original filenames before comparing to running processes.
  • Fixed error when displaying which running processes must be terminated before starting exam.
  • Added verification of original filename when allowing user to choose path to third-party application.
  • Fixed bug caused by case-sensitive string comparison when allowing user to choose path to allowed application.
  • Fixed bug for terminating permitted applications when quitting SEB.
  • Fixed autostart error when using SEB 2.2 generated settings with SEB 2.1.7. If permitted process firefox.exe for SEB browser was contained in settings (because those were created in SEB 2.2), the permitted process following SEB/firefox.exe in the list of permitted processes was auto-started, even if that flag wasn’t set.
