LanSchool Issue with MS Intellipoint Software

[sister_annex]

An interesting one occurred yesterday when I was called out to fix a machine in one of out suites, one which I have not seen or read about before.

 

The teacher had locked all the screens in a room using LanSchool which is common place. The worrying thing was a student that was still sitting there tatting on his PC. After a little bit of investigation it turns out that if you have a 3 button MS Mouse and the intellipoint software installed, if you click the middle button the instant viewer is displayed regardless of whether the screen is locked or not, thus allowing them to ge at anything that is currently open (and possibly the desktop).

 

Thankfully for us we have decided that the intellipoint software is pretty pointless and we only installed it that one room

 

So I just thought I'd make you all aware of this and we will be letting the people at lanschool know so they can look into it
