for some reason Mirc keeps taking Focus example while i am typing this Mirc came up 2 times and STOLE focus from the browser ie poped up right in front of browser and the typing went to irc how do I stop this?

whoops wrong forum put it in mirc help too

Seems that Mirc stays resident in memory after application termination. CTRL-ALT-DEL to Task Manager, click Processes and determine if Mirc.exe is still active. If so, Terminate Process Tree.

That's nothing to do with focus and it shouldn't happen.
