Re: New piece of spyware?

CC,

I'm not clear on why you think this is spyware. You
say that you "noticed on my mIRC IRC client that
something is pasting out ads to the current window".
If these ads are appearing in your mIRC window,
wouldn't you then figure that it's a function of mIRC?
 Other chat clients (AIM, Yahoo!, etc.) have similar
functionality.

Given what you've stated, this doesn't sound like
spyware at all.
