I recently purchased a laptop that has a very proprietary MS system. I had to have an IT guy install a karaoke program that was not sanctioned by MS. Now MS does not want me to download an anti-virus application. I understand that this is where MS has gone on all newer computers. Is there some kind of go-around?
