Cisco4ng,

If you want to block these IM's completely you'll need to use that pain
in the *ss of a SmartDefense. But to stop only the file transfers you
can simply use a rule:

Source: Internal LAN's
Dest.: Internet 
Protocol groups: P2P_File_Sharing_Appications & Messenger_Applications
Action: drop or reject (as wanted)

Both protocol groups are ready to use and pre-configured into the
Services list of an R55 or R55w FW. Mind you: it does not block any of
the IM chat traffic itself and file transfer might still be possible
through the use of proxy-apps. like Hopster. 

If you need to block it all you'll need to indulge yourself into the
dungeons of SmartDefense...

Subject: [FW-1] block file transfer in Instant Messenging like AOL,
Yahoo and MSN while still allowing chat

SmartCenter is NG with AI R55w on Nokia IP530.  Enforcement Module is
Nokia IP650 with IPSO 3.7.1 build 024 with CP NG with AI R55w HFA_04.
   
  Everything behind the Nokia is "hide" NAT when going out to the
Internet.  Everything
  is working fine.  I would like to block users behind the Nokia from
transferring files via
  instant messenging such as AOL, Yahoo and MSN while still allowing
them to chat
  via IMs.  
   
  Can someone show me how to do this with Checkpoint?  Thanks.
