The freeware NetWrix USB Blocker enforces centralized access control to prevent unauthorized use of removable media that connects to computer USB ports, for example, memory sticks, removable hard disks, iPods, and more. USB port access control is a very important aspect of your endpoint security, no matter how good your antivirus and firewall are. The USB device lockdown protects your network against malware and prevents theft of sensitive corporate data.
The product relies on built-in Group Policy mechanisms and seamlessly integrates into your existing environment. Another advantage of the product is simplicity: only a couple of mouse clicks to get the work done. And the most exciting: the software is free of charge for small networks (up to 50 computers). The paid commercial version is also available with advanced functionality and no limitation of network size.
Benefits:
- Prevents unauthorized use of removable devices.
- Hardens endpoint security.
- Enables regulatory compliance, such as SOX, GLBA and HIPAA.
- Freeware! Saves your IT buck for other projects.
Features:
- Seamlessly integrates with Active Directory.
- Simple point-and-click deployment.
- Fully centralized management.
- Very simple to use, no monster tools and long learning curves.
The product is provided free of charge (limited 50 managed computers) for use by organizations and individuals.We also provide free of charge technical support for the freeware version on the Support Forum. The commercial version of the product is also available, featuring advanced configuration options and technical support: more details.

dear sysadmin
the link that you give for this (maybe) nice utility
(http://www.netwrix.com/usb_blocker_freeware.html)
is considered a “red point” bad reputation site by WOT firefox extension
what do i think of it ?
did you test this tool (to see if it works)
or is it a “false positive” of WOT ?
Pascal, Netwrix is a reliable vendor. I have tested many of their products. Anyone can vote at WOT (competitors, trolls, etc.) anonymously. Thus you can’t really rely on WOT.
