Thank you, I use Windows XP 64-bit for my operating system. I don't know a thing about Linux. Maybe I should have looked for Windows version of those files like .exe?

Anyhow, do you think if paying $5 a month and getting a shell account from a site http://strategical.net/ would help? I'm willing to pay the money, it's not much compared to the damage due to reformatting from virus and hackers that happened in the past. Again, I dunno much about this. If anybody has more experience in hiding or changing their IP and host on IRC, I would really appreciate the feedback. Any help is welcome. smile
