FOR SECURITY REASONS THIS VERSION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

Safe Exam Browser 2.2.1 for Windows is a maintenance update for SEB 2.2 with some new features and many improvements. This version is replacing the SEB 2.1.x branch, with which it is compatible with one important exception: If you defined URL filter rules in SEB 2.1.x for Windows, then you'll have to re-enter those in the 2.2 SEB Config Tool, following the new filter rule scheme. URL filter rules created and saved with SEB for macOS are already compatible with SEB 2.2.1 for Windows.

  • Added configurable spell checking, dictionaries can be embedded into SEB config files.

  • Added context menu for displaying word suggestions and selecting spell checking dictionary. Note: You might have to enable the right mouse button in your settings ("Hooked Keys" config tool tab).

  • Resolved issue with sometimes missing power options after SEB was quit.

  • Added options for additional resources: Show button (to display the icon or menu entry for a resource)

  • Referrer filter for activation Link URL

  • Option "Show confirm box" with custom text which is displayed before loading a resource

  • Reset browser session (session cookies are deleted before loading a new resource)

  • Fixed that the URL filter didn't treat query strings in URLs consistently in SEB for Windows 2.2/macOS.
    Added option to explicitly forbid any query part in checked URL: Indicate "?." as query in your filter expression.

  • Fixed Browser Exam Key (BEK) check wasn't working correctly with some exam systems (because a trailing slash "/" was removed from the URL used to hash the BEK)

  • Fixed that SEB couldn't quit Firefox when starting.

  • Prevent that SEB browser can be used to finish an exam if SafeExamBrowser.exe is terminated: The browser displays a red lock screen in this case, requiring to enter the quit/unlock password.

  • Improved setting and resetting of Registry keys (Ctrl+Alt+Del Security Screen and power options), including when the SEB Windows Service tries to reset Registry settings after rebooting the machine. Added group policy update to registry resetter to reset power options reliably.

  • Replaced embedded Firefox with latest version 52.9.0 ESR.

  • Changed default setting for all function keys to "enabled".
