New One question

I mean no disrespect, but how do you enforce this? We have a similar issue with student PCs in the classroom.

New That may be tough.
One thing we can do is have a high muckety muck sign off on a company wide message along the lines of--

"Company assets are not to be treated as personal possessions. Use of proscribed software on company assets will not be tolerated. Blah, blah, blah etc."

With as many layoffs as we've had over the past year, this would be an effective type of message. It wouldn't work with students, but employees... ?

New What port does ICQ use?
It should simply be a matter of blocking any packets at the firewall going out to that port. If they can't connect to ICQ, they won't use it.
