Securexam Remote Proctor NOW doesn't allow certain programs to be running while in the software.

If you have received a Prohibited Programs Running message, similar to the message below indicating a process isn't allowed, you'll need to stop this application(S) from running.

The simplest way to solve this issue is to click the “Continue” button. This should close all Prohibited Processes that are running. NOTE: Please be sure to save any important work before clicking the “Continue” button. 

If clicking the “Continue” button does not close the application reboot your computer and see if the same issue occurs.  If upon reboot and running the software again, you receive the same message, you'll need to find the application and stop it.
