/me hands u a more secure version of mirc (a piece of paper and a pencil) if u want something secure and safe thats the best way to go about it .... this is the internet ... if someone wants something from someone they can always find a poor fool who is willing to click everythign they see and type in every command they are told and download anything they can .......
educate these ppl ..... dont humor them with security type programs that allows the options to be changed anyhow .....
myself i have several friends who claim to be computer illiterate ..... since ive met them they have gone from ppl who couldnt change a resolution setting on thier screen to now editing mrc files in scripts ...... and so on and so fourth ..... educate your friends ... your gonna do them a larger favor by doing that than u will by humoring thier stupidity
