Does mIRC pop up on your system startup? This is how I got rid of it: While mIRC was still running I screen-captured the "Processes" Tab on taskmanager(you can get screen capture software through cnet.com, for instance). I shut mIRC down and screen-captured taskmanager again. Afterwards, I compared the two images and found that on the later image, a file called "taskmngr.exe" was missing in the listing, so I searched for that file. I found it and it had the mIRC icon, so I just deleted that file. Now my system seems to be running OK. If searching for the file, make sure you're searching for "TASKMNGR.EXE" and NOT "TASKMGR.EXE", because this is the real task manager. Deleting that may cause some severe damage.
Good luck and best regards,
