   It sounds like it could possibly be a sub7 server trojan. Tell him to try to
   connect to austnet.... /server irc.austnet.org  They do a pretty good job of
   detecting the various trojans etc and will kill him off with a message
   directing him to a page where he can find theinstructions to remedy it.

   Subject: Win 95 Question

  Got a question from a friend that sounded familiar but I could not
  quite place it.

  He has a few win 95 boxes that try to connect to some IRC chat rooms
  when they boot.  He can't seem to find the process that is doing this.
  I thought it sounded something like Ring Zero but not quite.  Anyone
  else seen this?
