 Note that SQUID only serves http requests , and http is
stateless in it's nature. In so far that this issue relates to the
fact that MSN messenger is doing it's work using http and through
a http proxy (in this case SQUID), then this may perhaps be possible
by using mime based acl's and looking at certain types extensions being
used;
possibly blocking them afterwards. Though I am not sure that this can
be worded out easily.

But remember that SQUID deals with http-ing only, if involved at all, and
knows
nothing in essence about msn.
