Forums Connection Issues Why is mirc.exe connecting to verisign?

As the previous posts have mentioned, this is due to the digitally signed mIRC executable. mIRC is digitally signed to ensure that the mIRC you are running is authentic and has not been modified. mIRC itself does not connect to Verisign - this is actually performed by Windows and it does this for digitally signed executables whenever it wants to verify their authenticity.
