#se4 on Gamesurge IRC

Don't go on Warez channels then David. Don't go on bad networks. Get a firewall. That sort of thing almost never happens, and will not happen just because you have an IRC client installed.

{ Zone Alarm } has a very user-friendly freeware Version of their firewall out. I've used it with no problems. I've also been told that there's a good freeware firewall at this site:

http://sygate.com/

but I haven't tried it, so you might use a bit of caution there.

I didn't go to warez sites, I'm not into that sort of thing. and It's been many years since I tried mIRC, I believe it was just released and everybody was raving about it. I got hit, hard. I'm sure that the different IRC clients are much better and secure now, but I'm still very weary.

Like I said, the java app is working for me, and I'll stick with it for now.

Cheers!

You probably just got unlucky and hit that one in a trillion (or even more) chance.

I think I should bump this thread up from the mirky depths at this time.

It got mirky again. Time for de-mirkyification.

It's just me, chanserv, and a sleeping fyron in here now. So, do you think I should put some shaving cream in his hand and tickle his nose?
