I have installed latest Mirc build to a USB flash drive.

Maybe we can clear something up. So Im having problems connecting to IRC and I know its a firewall issue-- Windows prompts me to allow Mirc access. Ok fine..

So dosent this defeat the whole purpose of running an IRC client on a flash drive? I'd like to mantain my anonymity while chatting--so why do I need to configure any connections on Windows, on my actual system?

Is there not a way to run Mirc portable strictly from my flash drive? Properties? Admin?

If this is incredibly newbish, I'm sorry but I could use a simple explanation. Any ideas?
