Time to find a new vendor! This whole argument is silly. It's like the
old joke "Doctor it hurts when a do this" "Well stop doing it!" The back
button is there for a reason, don't disable it--fix your problem and you
problem is fundamentally your design.
Do you know what happens when visitors go to a page on a website and
cannot find a way to back out? I'll tell you as yesterday I just talked
my mother through navigating a website over the phone, (She one of those
folks that managed to avoid computers for the last 20 years):
They (with maybe some level of panic) *close* the browser!

Take care,
