A computer security device, for use with a computer having a floppy disk drive of the type having a latching lever, comprises a locking plate (1) insertable into the entry slot of the floppy disk drive (10) to enable the latching lever (2) to be rotated to the latching position. The plate has a locking slot (7) positioned so as to lie behind the latching lever (2), the plate being of a size allowing it to be movable in the withdrawal direction so that the locking slot (7) then accommodates the lever (2) and prevents its return to the release position. A locking hole (5) which accepts a padlock (4) is located in a portion of the locking plate which extends outwardly from the entry slot when the locking slot accommodates the lever, to prevent sufficient movement of the plate in the insertion direction to allow the lever to be released. For use with a computer having a hard drive, the plate may come as a kit with a floppy disk bearing software to disable the boot up files on the hard disk before the locking plate is inserted. The floppy also bears re-enabling software. <IMAGE> |
