Hi, It is strange that we both have experienced the same set of circumstances. I have been in contact with XoftSpySe folks and they have had me try different things but nothing helps. I wonder if it is a false positive. Meanwhile, when I open mIRC, I run XoftSpySe and remove the 13 entries (leaving mIRC opoen). I feel pretty safe then to use the program as long as I do not close and reopen.
