I'm not sure that there's anyway for you to do what you're asking, particularly in all cases.  For any given method, 
some users may have different browsers (or versions, preventing an ActiveX download), personal firewalls, etc. 

One solution you may consider is to place a Terminal Server between the VPN or dial-up server and requiring all users 
to access the TS via RDP.  That way, the traffic that would infect your infrastructure never makes it onto the network.

Just a thought...hope it helps.
