I was thinking that there would be a program on the pc to stop that, but for a bit of extra security, something like the add-in USB2 card I have, which presents 4 ports to the back of the PC, but also has an internal port. Hide the dongle away inside the PC case, if it is a desktop.

Pual basicially i want to remove the USB dongle and take it with me or only have my lab personel have access to it. Without the dongle then the computer would be usless to someone??
