    Ok, I am really really tired of Trend Micro Office scan client on my laptop. I purchased my R60 from the school, and since I left that private school, I'm stuck with it. It's password protected, and is there a way of how to get rid of this password protected software?

    Is there any program out there that can override it?


    I tried calling the school, but they refuse to give me the password..great help from them. -_-

    That's what I would suggest too. Typically, school-provided-notebooks come with everything locked down. In my opinion, if I purchase a notebook, I want to have full, unrestricted access to everything. I bought it, right? Reformat that sucker.

    Actually it might. You would be sent to jail(probably a year or so) and while in jail you wont be using your laptop so you wont have to deal with your laptop and TMO.
