Microsoft ISA Server 2004 has application layer inspection for HTTP protocol allowing filtering by methods, extensions, headers (server and via) and signatures (keywords searched in request URL, header or body).

Thanks for all your information. I have checked out http://reconnex.net/products/iguard.asp . It look promising. However I hope the industry gets more vigiliant about this kind of threat in the future.

There is a company in California called Reconnex that has a product that can look at Hotmail type traffic for sensitive data. I think it can also look at zipped files. A friend works for them and what based on what he has told me their products probably will address your needs. I think their web site is reconnex.net

Thank you for your suggestions. I alreay lock down the Network pretty tight. We have the users on a tight, tight leash. We have gone to many Great lengths to block USB’s Floppies, and CDRom Writers. Cameras are not alowed and MP3′s are forbiden and we get alerts if people hook up related equiptment. Very Locked down. But unfortunatly we can not just block Hotmail and the like. And even if we did we can not block them all, there is going to be one that we did not even know existed. So we wanted to get the snake at the head so to speak.
