On boot, and after Win2KPro finishes loading, a window opens asking to register mIRC ... He doesn't remeber ever installing it ... I went to mIRC's site to for uninstall instructions which said to use start-->control panel -> add/remove programs, find mIRC and uninstall ... I did but could not find an entry there... the second alternative was to delete the c:/mirc/ ... the directory is not there... Seems the machine got hit with a trojan ... The two sites recommended at the uninstall page were of little help. I ran Norton Anti Virus (with the latest virus signatures), and I was able to quarantine the mirc.ini file ... but the dang windows still are poping up ... anybody have any ideas about this problem?
