Amplifiedgirl ,

You said that you tried all the local computers?............did you sign in as yourself?.......if your answer is "yes" this proves nothing. That is one of the ways I would do it (to block and trap you), you have a profile.

Can another person log in and use MIRC? if they can, you do have problems......if not, it is just a sensible improvement in security at your site? As I mentioned, there have been a lot of exploits and attacks using these vectors recently.

The problem is not your Administrator or your work, it is the silly script kiddies writing this sort of stuff.........they are the ones who have spoiled your fun? so if you have brothers , sisters, nephews or nieces that are into it..............give them a slap...and another from me.

Take care

And it might be a good season for job hunting?
