This is often a big debate, usually ending with two opinions:
1) More needs to be done to help users for various reasons (language barriers, computer illiteracy etc)
2) At some point the buck must stop at the more experienced people's side, and people must take the advice that is given to them and apply minimum common sense.
I do think however, that perhaps
www.mirc.co.uk/help/virus.html or a version of it should be included in the help file. I have to agree with the whole "language barrier" issue though, perhaps an idea could be to translate that help page and put links to other language versions of it on the English page (i.e. at the bottom, "View this page in: Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, French" etc etc).
I think mIRC already plays it's part in virus prevention - that website for a start, the numerous posts on the boards, not helping with mass/illegal file trading, and of course a semi-new feature that pops up a warning when clicking on URLs (I think you still use 6.03 so maybe you weren't aware of this).
A security advisor button? Hmm, it could be an idea, but I think an area in the help file would be good, with a link to the URL above.
My 2 cents.
Regards,
