What is the “Panic Button”?
You are here: Frequently Asked Questions / Technical Questions
The "Panic Button" is primarily designed for those who find themselves tempted beyond control, yet really have a desire for purity in their Internet use. In the face of temptation, the Panic Button allows the user to cut off all Internet use - surfing, email, chat, instant messaging, everything.
Internet use is cut off until the user calls in to our Customer Support Team, at which time it is turned back on.
On a Windows computer, the Panic Button is accessed by right-clicking the CE icon in the taskbar, then clicking the "Panic Button." On a Mac, either left-click on the "eye" icon on the taskbar or cntrl-click on the "eye" on the dock, and click "Panic..." A warning box comes up, warning that all Internet use will be cut off, and asking for confirmation. If you click "Panic" at that point, all Internet use will be suspended.
Secondly, the "Panic Button" is used for a security measure when you are away for an extended period of time from your computer. The "Panic Button" ensures that no one can use the Internet on your computer while you are away.
