Thanks TheFiend. I just had a thought. When I first started using IRC, I had auto-get enabled for files for which I was queued. After reading one of the articles I found, it was decided that this was not a good idea. Of course, I have disabled that feature now. I'm thinking that the attacker could have somehow initiated a file transfer, which I automatically accepted without knowing. It's just an idea...I'm still new to this. It's just so fascinating. Well anyway, the post is still open to any takers. Again, I appreciate it. I have copies of the files if anyone is interested, but I don't think that I will be able to get them to you if your ISP's email server has an active and up-to-date virus wall scanning emails you recieve. I wish I could understand the coding. Maybe I will post some of it so that you guys can take a look. Let me know if you guys are interested. Thanks again.
