Scanning Links in Instant Messangers
I was wondering if products such as Cisco IronPort or McAfee Secure Messaging Gateway (or any other similar product) have the ability to scan links within an Instant Messanger.
My research so far has turned up nothing so I am assuming it is not possible, but am posting here as a last resort.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, I know that both of these will kick into action if a link is clicked on, I was thinking more along the lines if there was an app or technology that can actively scan the IM.

Just to add, it will be to scan messages sent to and from the likes of MSN, Yahoo messanger...etc. is this possible?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection. Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

These appliances will definately take action if a user clicks on the link to navigate to it (as long as the traffic flows through it).
Or are you asking if the link will be scanned on an IM conversation that was established through one of these (internal user chatting with a 3rd party)?
