I completely agree with Menthix in every aspect.... Moreover:

No it can not.
Such messages you are talking about, which you whish there was a protection for and hence you suggested this idea, are usually send when the user himself is offline.
Plus! can not detect those messages by checking if it comes from 'the keyboard' (nor can any other scanner) because they aren't send from a person's computer. They are send from a 'service' logging in into the contact's account. And as you said so yourself, such message often come in different languages.
And the other kind of SPIM is already detected by good scanners.
Also, the sites refered to in such messages do change all the time! That is exactly why they spread so much; it is hard to keep track of all the malicious sites popping up and blocking them without triggering false positives. For example, in the last couple of months I have gathered more than 30 links from a particular SPIM. Each time one site is blocked by MS/Messenger two other sites pop up...
To protect against such SPIM the best solution is to report them to MS so they can be blacklisted. Of course, if nobody reports them MS/Messenger wont be able to protect you from it either. So, instead of hoping on something to be created (which wont work anyways), do the proper thing and report sch SPIM thru the proper channels.
Bottem line: I don't see how such a scanner in Plus! is going to be better than anything which already exists. Let the protection be done by the proper software and instances who also have the resources to investigate and maintain check lists, etc. Plus! isn't going to be able to do anything 'magic' here.
