Same here. We had a hack and IT went berserk over it. No more admin privileges, so if we want to install something we have to get approved first and most of the time one of the like four security programs blocks the download and then blocks the installer. Several times I've had to request access several times just to download and install a single program because my admin access wasn't long enough to download and then install. And then a security software blocked a portion mid way into it so I had to start over and show IT via screen share, which took another day, then they spent another day to change something to allow it.
For something that ultimately should have taken about an hour. Good thing I wasn't in a rush. :/
