You are not even making any sense. Company computers purchased for employees don't even come with software installed on them, or if they do, it's wiped clean by in-house IT professionals and their own OS and software programs are installed remotely running Norton Campus Edition. We have

Thanks for the information, Mr. Rishi. So, I enrolled in some courses at the community college this semester. Cyber Security (for certification) and Python coding. For $350 any Texas resident can take two courses for $350. Sweet! ...more than a dozen software applications other than Superfish

I would expect such on a company computer. That's why I always bought my own PCs for my private use. I am running Ubuntu Studio 12.04 on this machine because their attempt to be more user friendly with the regular version was way too developer unfriendly. I would have installed Mint Linux
