It depends on what they're using to chat with. AFAIK, it is impossible to block FaceBook and MySpace web based chats without blocking those sites altogether, as they just use HTTP for their chat protocol.

Today, I have a request from a user to block chat/IM services on their connection... Anyone done this for a user? any ideas where to start? The user has a daughter that is getting into trouble via IM. While I know there is software that can be place on the daughters laptop, she is by far more computer knowledgeable than her parents and would likely be able to disable stuff placed on her system. help?
