Deny access to MSN MESSENGER

What would be the best way to deny access to MSN MESSENGER in an office
where people past their time to chat instead of working.

Can I use the host file ?

I will certainly not fire all secretaries.

Not sure how this works in an office with multiple MSN MESSENGER clients, but
the the best way is to install a firewall and block the IP traffic over the IP
ports that MESSENGER uses. Internet office access should only really be using
standard IP protocols:

IMAP
SMTP
POP
WEB
Secure Web
SSL
