I use net limiter 2 but I'm not sure how well that would work for what you are trying to do.

Re: Help!!

In an office setting this is usually accomplished by a proxy, that will also block the web based messengers. The simplest solution is to uninstall msn and remove administrator privileges, you could also use a personal firewall on each computer to block it. But they will still be able to use it with something like meebo.com
