Still, disabling a computer they own is one thing; disabling one YOU own is another. I think that's more of a power-trip on their part than anything that will truly protect them. If they connect with any other PC for any transmission of data, they can get a virus. Hobbling their MTs when it comes to research and communication via the Internet is going to prove counter-productive to them in the long run. They should invest in some professional grade antivirus software and consider joining the 21st Century like the rest of us.
I personally wouldn't work for such an employer. But you could: Ask them to provide you with THEIR computer to disable, if they feel that's so important. Check with your IP to see if you can simply set up a 2nd email account that you could toggle in and out of. Or, buy a laptop, have a different user-name & email address, and use that to stay connected with the outside world.
