Hello,

I think that this would be to hard to maintain, why not simple block the type of traffic on the firewall or proxy server.

I'm looking to create a software restriction policy via GPO to prevent
different instant messenger services (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Trillian..etc)
from running based on the hash value. Short of gathering all know
binaries for each client is there any way to obtain hash codes from past
versions anywhere....perhaps a website with a repository of hash values
for binaries?

Thanks in advance,
