Subject: mIRC Worm
There is an mIRC worm/script going around IRC. mIRC has a bug that
allows remote users to download script files onto the victims machines and
execute them. mIRC 5.3 has been release to fix the hole. You can also fix
the problem by changing the default download subdirectory to be something
else than the directory containing the script files. To do so:
a) Start the mIRC software
b) Click the mIRC menu option DCC | Options | Dirs | Edit
c) Change the default download directory. Point to an alternate
directory or folder name.
Attached you will find one of the many variations of the script. I
don't plan on starting a thread on this topic. mIRC is always been a
mess. This is just a heads up. Some reference URLs:
