Re: MSN Messenger Block

Make sure you are blocking the proper ports for outbound traffic. It is also
possible that it is tunneling through http which makes it difficult to stop
via the firewall though you can use Group Policy to disable it on the user's
computer. Look at the settings under user configuration/administrative
templates/Windows components/Windows messenger. Software Restriction
Policies are also another possibility to disable unauthorized software with
path and has rules.
