MIRC

Hello again,

Apologies for the subsequent question:

How can I be sure Avast is monitoring any traffic or connection if using the program MIRC?

  • I use Zonealarm Pro, Avast Home Edition, Windows XP and MIRC.

Even if I never transfer/accept any files to/from my computer - is avast monitoring any communication over MIRC (ie. other people trying to do something bad) and if so how can I check this?

Many thanks,

Aaron

No, avast! doesn’t monitor any MIRC communication.

Avast (the instant messaging provider) is capable of checking the files you receive with mirc.
Double click the blue ball and make sure you have the provider running and that mirc has a checkmark in front of it.

Note:
If one is using Mirc, I recommend to install and use a good script like PnP (Peace And Protection)
It will not only add a lot of handy things, but also makes security in mirc better manageble and even adds more security options/settings.
