So frustrating. I was not able to find an uninstall in either the control panel remove menu nor an uninstall in the mirc folder itself so I deleted it. I installed the new one and the trojan showed again. I My virus protection detected the trojan and removed it (or so it said). I did a spyware scan and it detected the trojan again.
They are all listed as Mirc Script Trojan in Registry keys as follows.

I hope that I have that all typed in OK.
