What you are talking about here is software that costs the same as couple of packets of smokes and the licence lasts forever. What more do you want?... Blood? :tongue:

mIRC, in its current guise is safe, secure, feature-packed and trustworthy. What other requirements are there? The other thing to remember is that mIRC has been available publicly for 10 years, give or take a day or two, and for one person to provide support for that long is worthy of a little more respect.
