Guys, i have been lucky enough to be handed a cracked copy of MIRC, this program is working fine for me on Windows 7. I am using the trial version at present. Let me know if anyone would like and i will throw it up on fileshare?

Thanks for the heads up on this one MB.

I'm all good mate... all iced up with Icechat!!!

as long as you all stay there i would be happy

A  few days... in slacking terms thats a lifetime away  

pass it to the poor bidona who never been a chater woot woot

On now.

Using MIRC on Windows 7.  Well past 30 day trial period.  Still working fine.  

Don't update if you have an older version . . .


Updated my 280 day old MIRC last night.  Result: doesn't work past anymore.  

 

back in the days i used to have a special java client attached to the site, called PJIRC i think, one could start it from a link on tribalmixes, but then would have to keep browser window open to chat.. i could look into it again and set it up, if there are such big problems with finding free standalone clients.

well guys from my perspective I didn't like MIRC, but if it works, it works.. however using XP Icechat does the job, for XP use version 7 as for some reason version 9 doesn't play ball at all

Thanks munkyn, will use version 7.  Didn't have much luck w/ 9 . . .


Careful with ThrashIrc . . . it constantly crashed on me (unusable) and MB said his AVG considers it a virus.  Good chance it is, I believe.

Yep mate, version 7 seems the most stable, version 9 crashed all the time for me too!!!

ThrashIRC is not a virus, it's been tested by lots of sites. I'm sorry it didn't work on your particular rig mallam. I hope you were using version 2.7 downloaded from www.thrashirc.com. Some download sites alter the installer,to add software they're promoting, and screw up the registering of the required DLLs for ThrashIRC.

I develop ThrashIRC on Windows 7 64bit Pro. So, it's targeted for that OS. I also test it on Windows XP X64 in VirtualBox. On my rig, ThrashIRC has been running 36 days straight. I'm a heavy IRC user, and I use the ZPAQ archiver built into ThrashIRC constantly to backup small stuff.

hey man, my avg said it was a virus, i added it to my ignore list and it still removed it. i am not sure what went wrong tbh...


but thanks for the heads up. maybe it was a false positive.

I don't know why AVG reports it as a virus. I use MSE and kaspersky, I scan my dev rig and server, and the MSI installation package, before I release a new MSI installation package to public.  
The big sites have tested it too, CNET, Softpedia, PCWORLD (UK one anyway) it has clean badges from all.

I do know Comodo users say it's black listed by that security suite. I think Comodo black listed it because I didn't purchase a certificate of authenticity from them or their affiliates. I doubt they even tested it.

About the ThrashIRC crashing...You need Windows XP service pack 2 minimum for it to run correctly. I don't test it on WinXP 32bit SP2, but I know people that run it on that.  Also, I know for sure some download sites screwed up my installer, and a essential DLL wasn't being registered correctly. This is the fix https://www.thrashirc.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1337

Okay, I'm done...I have some Killing Floor to play  
It's cool you guys are interested in IRC, most people are concerned about web 2.0 social networks. I still like IRC, been using it since 95' and probably will until no IRC servers are running.
