I'm using Avast!. It has been in use for years now, so I don't think it's the problem. It always has prompted before deleting anything. Could it be somehow due to my firewall, Online Armor? It is always asking stupid questions but I allowed all concerning mIRC.
Try to search for the popups.ini & aliases.ini files in these directions:
//run $mircdir
or
//run $scriptdir
if you find one of them report here the files direction to help you
