It's hard to manage thousands of student computers and monitor the online activities of students.
Downloads, website visits, and installations can make your computers vulnerable to security breaches and malicious programming.
That's why it is important to

clickjacking (a malicious technique of tricking web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages), and
download requests.
