Go and buy some anti-virus software, install it and keep it up to date with regular signature updates from the software vendor's website. A kill reason doesn't mean you have a virus, it means that your connection details match previous troublesome connections and that you MAY - NOT DO - have the said infection.

Then and only then, if it turns out you are infected then the AV software should clean the virus up for you.

Will you never learn?


Never compare yourself to others - they're more screwed up than you think.

Matrix2 is a -simple- mIRC Worm Script.

No Anti-Virus software will detect or clean Matrix2.

To remove Matrix2, type //!unload -rsn Matrix2 | !remove Matrix2

You can also manually open your Script Editor (Alt+R) and look at the View Menu. Select any scripts you are unfamiliar with, then goto File > Unload. You may also delete these files from your mIRC directory.

To keep from getting this and Script Trojans & Worms like it, don't trust/believe what random people come up and tell you. Don't download pirated movies or software. Porn is Ok, but only if it's tasteful. smirk
