Here is a simple and ridiculously efficient way to kill LanSchool and access internet. This one is new and works as of November 20, 2009 with version 7.3.0.1
- Go to C:\Program Files (can be accessed by going up folders from My Documents) and then find the LanSchool folder.
- Delete or move as many files as you can from the LanSchool folder. The application can survive this, so we will go a step further and make sure it can’t run even if the files are there.
- Right-click on school.exe and select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check the Execute in compatibility mode box and choose the oldest available operating system.
- LanSchool might then show various installation boxes. Always click cancel.
Voilà! You can now use Internet Explorer and other restricted applications, completely unseen!
UPDATE: Some people do not have access to these files. Another way to sabotage the LanSchool files would be to create a batch file that messes with the files it needs to run.
dude.. in school they block that so u cany get into the program files.. noob
Look, “dude”, it worked here and it’s a legit exploit. No need to bash on others because you can’t figure a way to kill it yourself.
Ok, “dude 1″, in many schools the program files are not blocked. And if they are in your school your the noob for not beging able to get passed that.
“Dude” I tried it out and it didn’t give me the installation boxes!
The basic idea is to sabotage the .exe file as much as possible.
Lol noob. I am a teacher. You think I haven’t thought that students would attempt this? Or that Lanschool doesn’t have better protection against disabling their software.
How does being a teacher qualify you as an IT specialist? I wrote the original post from a computer blocked by LanSchool. The application replaced deleted files , so it effectively protected itself, but running it in compatibility mode is a sure-fire way to throw a wrench in the gears.
Besides, you should watch your punctuation better before you pretend to be a teacher on the internet.
Lol @ the nub who thinks he can pass off as a teacher with the grammar of a 5 year old. Extremely helpful, thanks for the post!
No problem. I’m glad it worked for you!
