I am incountering issues connecting (remote agent) to certain boxes in my IT area. I am wondering if there are tools/patches/blockers that these people could have installed to prevent SMS from utilizing the remote option on their computers. Has anyone come acrost this in the past?

Yeah, they probably can go through the registry of the machine to change the options. I know that for my server environment, I've made changes to the registry to disable the "ask for permission" during a remote control. So I can only assume, I can block remote control all together.
The best thing that you can do is LOCK the client settings through the SMS Site Administration Console. At least in this way, you will stop most of your users from making modifications. (On NT/2K machines, you can prevent the users from modifying the registry...9x, you can't)
