[thelist] mIRC

[Debbe Watson]

I agree that mIRC is the villian, but some villian is using it the wrong
way.  I have a screen capture of the mIRC running on my machine with
channel numbers, chat names, IP addresses and verbage of "Bombing and
Attacking IP Address xxx.xxx.x.x"

I did get the program uninstalled and 6 Trojans showed up!

I am back in working order now, but it took almost 18 hrs to get me
there.

mIRC is not spyware. It's a program that many people use as a way to
chat,
download and share files, etc. This is the first that I've heard of
anything
bad comming from mIRC. I think it's not the program that's giving you
trouble, but more of a script that is in your computer doing it.

I would suggest going to http://mIRC.com and trying to contact someone
about
your problems.
