Simply removing "your" from the text above would produce an
ungrammatical sentence. I disagree anyway - "your" is used all over the
place in d-i strings and doesn't sound at all unprofessional to me. It's
reasonable to avoid anthropomorphising the computer, but there's nothing
wrong with directly addressing the user.
