breaks tests

leaves me to fix them during approval

• Installs antivirus on servers that wrecks application performance
• installs content filtering proxy that prevents developers from reading “hacking materials” like OWASP documentation
• won’t let developers install anything on their own machines without filing a ticket and waiting 6 weeks
• pushes unannounced antivirus updates that pop up OS security dialogs like “Netscan Antivirus would like to monitor all network traffic. Enter your password to approve”, and is surprised when users don’t enter their passwords.
