Welcome to the mIRC message boards

You could view the Wikipedia entry on mIRC to see a fairly neutral point of view with regards to mIRC, including its main features and criticisms.

The main benefits of mIRC is dependent on what you want to do with mIRC/IRC...for example, if you have no interest in using your computer for playing music on your computer then mIRC's ability to be an mp3 player is fairly useless.

mIRC however, usually through its scripting engine, is extremely versatile. It can be almost anything you want, though of course it is primarily designed to be an IRC client, used to connect to IRC and present IRC in an easy to understand, graphical way for the end user.

More information on mIRC can be found in the mIRC FAQ and in Khaled's FAQ. There's also a helluva lot of links in the More Info section of the site, which you may like to read and click on.

Regards,

Beware of the IRC and mIRC viruses. They are spreading like fire.... you get PMs from infected people who ask you to go to a website to see porn, and the downlaoded file is a trojan.... Or they tell tyou that you are infected with a trojan and give you a link to a trojan scaner which is iteself a trojan....

And that is a good example as to why we all tell people to not click on those links from people you do not know or trust, and that also includes friends. But hey it happens, so a good thing to practice is to be very caustious of those nasty links.
