[Ham-Computers] mIRC Services???

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Robert,

I wouldn't think you would reinstall it unless you had been using it. If no 
other traces of the virus show up I wouldn't worry about it. If you get 
other junk then maybe a registry search and edit would be in order.

Earlier today I stupidly (worse than foolishly) opened an email I should 
have
just deleted and Norton pops up with a virus warning.  I ran NAV 2005 but it
wasn't able to repair, quarantine, or delete the two files it reported,
mIRC.ini and Script.ini.  I eventually tracked down the infected file 
containing the
two .ini's in one of the Compuserve 7.0 folders and with an old DOS utility
(PFM) renamed it and then deleted it.  And neither Norton nor SpyWare Doctor
find anything now.

However, in reading the fine print from Norton on the threat (a Trojan) it
said after removing it they recommended reinstalling mIRC Services.  What is
mIRC Services?  I'm running NT 5 (W2K).
