Network card is removed without any user intervention

We are having a problem that the network adapter disappears from the virtual machine. When editing the settings of the machine the NIC is no longer in it.

When we look at the virtual center tasks and events there is no event indicating the removal of the network card. Below I am sending the log.

The problem is not a in VMWARE ESX is in the hot plug technology of the network adapter this device (NIC) can be removed by the user like a usb drive. We are checking now how to prevent this in Windows. I am sending a print scren attached. When you click to remove de NIC the VMWare ESX remove this device from de virtual machine hardware.
