Your employer has trust issues...
And it makes no sense at all because if you wanted to do harm an external internet connection would be the least of their problems.
My previous employer was like that and it really doesn't make you feel like a valued employee...
So I decided to quit after about four months (unfortunately, I was a contract employee and I had to finish the project, so ultimately I sat their for seven months).

They should block MSDN too, and all auto-update sources. You know, just to be sure.
So you now have two laptops on your desk side-by-side? On for "work", and one where CP is active and the work gets done?

They do!
Actually the work laptop will live evict the old desktop which is going to end up a print/db server

Have a second machine on your home network and use a program such as "Input Director" to run both machines from one mouse and keyboard - this allows cut and paste between the machines while still keeping them fairly isolated from each other.

No USB, no bluetooth, no internet, no external mail and of course no admin rights, what makes you think they would allow me to install a non authorised product.
I do like the idea of sharing peripherals though, especially as the 2 external keyboards will be different  .

Just bought the 2016 reissue of DSOTM on 180g vinyl. Very evocative of an era long gone.

Reminds me that I should get a new pickup for my vinyl player.
My son ruined my old one at the age of two despite being put away in a storage room.
It was an Ortofon MC20 Mark II, I wonder what one, or an equivalent, would cost today?

If you need to support Internet Explorer, that's the only solution.
For almost all other browsers, subresource integrity would ensure that the script you load from a CDN hasn't been changed since you first linked to it:
Subresource Integrity - Web security | MDN[^]
But if it's your local AV software injecting the script into your browser, then all bets are off.

Richard, Thanks for the informative link, but unfortunately I have to support IE. I did learn something though! 
Richard Deeming wrote: But if it's your local AV software injecting the script into your browser
The local AV was indeed injecting a link to a .js resource on their website. When I checked, the subscription was expiring in just a couple of days so I simply uninstalled it. No more problems. In fact, this fixed a really strange problem I had been having with this laptop where typing in IE was regularly missing keystrokes. (really bad on here on CP)

There was a similar problem here a while back, when Chris accidentally made the script that updates the message preview use synchronous AJAX requests. Typing anything became incredibly painful, as the browser froze after every key press until the server responded.
It almost sounds like your AV was injecting a poorly-written key logger into your browser.
