There are many secrets hidden on the net, kept under lock and key, behind layers of ice, and protected by dedicated Sysops. Valuable for any number of reasons, to all kinds of people, but Runners especially make secrets their business.

Why have the trash from HQ if you can just install and rez for the same cost?
I like the idea though, maybe make the two effects slightly different.
BZZZT Blue smoke wafting from the console case. [Error–Disk Malfunction] Time for an upgrade.
feels essentially unbalanced and uninteractive:
0 cost install to face check everything;
company cannot trash program easily even with tag;
a big part of company fun which is rezzing the ice and surprising the runner is mostly taken away.
Concept is fun and cool I can definitely see that, but it’s too op right now
