Virtual Moose – “Yikes! A VM has been detected.”

LockDown Browser displays a cartoon moose and the following message: "Yikes! A VM has been detected. You cannot use a virtual machine with LockDown Browser. Your instructor is being notified and your exam session will be terminated."

If the test displays a Virtual Moose VM warning message, it means that LockDown Browser has detected use of, or a signature of, a virtual environment. LockDown Browser does not support any kind of virtualized environments on student owned computers.

The test will not proceed. Please switch to another device to take the test.

Other alternates for taking a test with LockDown Browser include requesting a laptop from the CSUDH TechCheckout program. If the test does not require LockDown Browser with Respondus Monitor (webcam), consider using one of the computers located on the second floor of the CSUDH Library.
