first the obligitory.....

i didn't do it no on saw me do it
and ya cant prove anything =)

i belive webby has the java chat here on the site directed to the new server....

also is it a scrpit in mirc or an actual virus... if it is a virus go grab one of the free virus scanners... if it is a scrpit just get rid of it... or redownload mirc but just install and setup into a different directory.......

YOu def. have a werm. It is an on-join werm that sends to people without your consent. It is the "loveletter" virus. Go to www.download.com and get a fix its simple.

That won't work. It's a werm I garuntee it replicated itself 5 times all over with most liekly different names. The file controlling the sending isn't file he was originally infected with.

You have the Plan Columbia virus. Load up internet explorer, does it go to a page that can't be found hosted by fortunecity.com? That .vbs is a *****.

Go in C:\ and search for files called "linux". Look in the script and it should say stuff about dedicating this virus to all the hackers and crackers and they dedicate a song called "goodbye" by somebody.

Download a viruscan, that helps too.
