The ALEKS plug-in is used by your browser when you are logged on to ALEKS. It is inactive at other times, and does not do anything except provide functionality for ALEKS. However, if you remove the ALEKS plug-in from your computer, you won’t be able to access ALEKS on that computer until you re-install it. Installation of the ALEKS plug-in is automatic. If you attempt to access ALEKS, it will automatically check to see if the current plug-in is installed on your computer. If it isn’t, the plug-in will be downloaded. You will then be asked for your permission to install the plug-in on your system. This is a safe operation for your computer.
