Antivirus and Firewalls

Tip: Turning off the computer’s antivirus before you install Covenant Eyes is highly recommended and can help ensure smooth installation and avoid future issues.

Antivirus programs use the terms “Exceptions” or “Exclusions” for setting up special permissions. Putting the following six Covenant Eyes files in such a category (Exceptions/Exclusions) is your way of configuring the antivirus program so the Covenant Eyes program can run without interference from that antivirus. Basically, you are telling the firewall or antivirus software that Covenant Eyes is “safe.”

• authServer.exe
• CovenantEyes.exe
• CovenantEyesClassifier.exe
• CovenantEyesCommService.exe
• CovenantEyesHelper.exe
• CovenantEyesProxy.exe

Known Compatibility Issues

The following programs are known to present compatibility issues with Covenant Eyes. 

Windows

• BitDefender—compatibility is nuanced; contact our Support team.
• Endpoint/Enterprise/Managed—when those words are in the name, it’s a strong indicator that the antivirus and/or firewall is controlled by an IT dept or a computer specialist. We are happy to provide to the member, through email, the necessary information about files, URLs and IP addresses. He/she can then relay that to the IT department or “computer guy.”
• Sophos—no longer compatible with Internet Accountability and Windows computers. Compatibility is fine for Screen Accountability™ and Windows computers.
• Other conflicts include any other monitoring/filtering software installed. This includes some parental controls. These must be removed in order for Covenant Eyes to function.
