As it seems would be nice if mIRC's security would be enhanced. I know I've suggested similar thing before but this is a suggestion that does not destroy mIRC's capabilities.

1. Disable all kinds of "special features" by default, such as COM+, DDE, inline scripting etc etc. Anything that's dangerous.

2. To enable them, issue a warning that 'this is a dangerous thing you're doing blablabla...'

DDE already has this kind of functionality, which is nice. Would like to see the rest of the 'dangerous' stuff go into this though, such as inline scripting etc. Shouldn't be hard to do. Of course, disabling events & scripting as per default (you could enable them later on) would not be a bad idea either...

Also a nice warning on execution of /load & /unload would be pretty nice feature.
