this was on MSN,not MIRC that the "hahaha" thing came up. plus when i had Windows 95,someone havked into my PC and kept opening my DVD/CD drive and i bought a program called Bulldog or something like that. Originally they told me it was an anti-virus but it was a Firewall. at first he still opened my CD Drive after installing it,but after figuring out how to get it fixed,2 days later he came on again saying "hi. i'm not bulldog but i can help you get rid of this" at that point i was like "come on" so after 2-3 attempts of firewall,i have concluded the encryption is not that strong. even several people i talked to,especially yesterday,said it's not 100% foolproof.
