The easiest way is to create access-lists to block the authentication
servers (if applicable) or the site itself. Keep in mind that many large
sites own an entire subnet of IPs for load balancing so it may require more
than just the first IP you see when you ping by name.
If it's on a Microsoft network, Profiles can be activated to only allow
specific applications to run. Disallowing setup.exe can be very
discouraging to users as well ;)
PIX can block ActiveX content as well.
Lastly, but probably most importantly, usage conduct must be put into place
& made known to all users.
