>>does your internet provider frequently change your IP address, >>or have you had the same one for a long time.
No, IP only changes (I think) when I reset the router. Last router reset was 2-3 weeks ago, but error message appeared only 2 days ago.
>>Is there someone else in your LAN that's been accessing the >>same irc server, and it could be them instead of you that's >>infected?
nobody else on my LAN - home computer, only 1 user.
Do you get this error at all irc servers you try to connect to?
Yes, so far.
>>Your message makes it sound like you got this error at more >>than 1 irc server, but it would help if more of a warning >>error than 'compromised host'.
