Indeed. It would be interesting to know what sort of things it does behind my back. At first I thought I had finally found a good firewall but it seems I was wrong once again. At least so far I haven't noticed other programs behaving in an odd manner, so it might be concerning only mIRC. However, I can't be sure of this. At least in the future I know I'll have to check Online Armor's log first.
Thank you for your fast reply. Keep up the good work you've done so far with mIRC.
