If <nickname> is not you then it is probably a bot in the IRC Channel that
is generating the messages.  If <nickname> is you then it could be a new
piece of spyware/Trojan..  

Regards,

Hi,

 I have a Windows Server 2003 machine. Lately, I noticed on my mIRC IRC
client that something is pasting out ads to the current window.

Thanks alot. :]

This last ad was the first one I've seen. I've ran SpyBot S&D and Ad-aware
with no results. I've search Google for addict3d with no results either.

Thanks,

CC.
