does anyone know which version of mIRC DOESNT have the mirc-trojan in it? i tryed to run it at work to have a chat at lunch time and sophos anti-virus grabbed it and sent an email to the network admin he then sent the details to my boss who told me about it, thus leaving me red faced !
www.mirc.com ? http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojmirchacka.html theres some info on the virus , it may already be on your computer when u try to install a new version on mirc
You could always try another IRC client. Something like ViRC or XChat. I haven't used mIRC in ages as I much prefer ViRC, XChat & BesIRC.
i did already try that but its blocked on the net pilot im starting to wonder if its worth it, i dont really want to lose my job over it. they've got a 800k/s+ line tho
if anyone wants it, I'm hosting a virus-free (yes, it's been checked) version on my website for a couple of days click me!
I use the one built into Trillian, but I think it can only open one connection at a time. I started using it cause I was fed up with the IRC virus thing too.
hmmm i forgot all about trillian... since we can actually use msn or thats what i remember my boss telling me its funny though, when i open'd mIRC at work that sophos thing came up, but i installed sophos at home (to test) and sophos didnt find anything.
