I seem to have picked up a Trojan. It's either that or some stupid little script kiddy managed to put something on my computer when it was outside of my router waiting on the cable guys to show up. I'm not sure which I prefer, but I'm going to be really annoyed if some little juvenile decided to see how some of the tools worked and hacked into my computer. I'll admit I had very lax security since it had been inside the router, but it's still taken me an hour trying to figure out how to pull this stupid thing off my computer. Apparently it's been turning my entire hard drive into a download free-for-all via IRC. I kept noticing that my computer was launching mIRC on boot up. I thought that was odd since I hadn't loaded it on this computer since I rebuilt it last. It's also messing up my web server which is why I really started looking for the cause.
