InformationAntiviruses can interfere with Constructor Proctor Secure Browser installation. This is because Constructor uses methods that antiviruses consider suspicious (for example, blocking keyboard shortcuts in the OS). If your antivirus detects Constructor.exe as potentially malicious, add the file to the list of exceptions or shut down the antivirus protection temporarily. We assure you that our application is completely safe and is only intended to create stricter exam conditions.
