Mirc problems, cannot connect anymore

[i4g]Acme

Hey all,

I have some problems with Mirc. I cannot connect to the server anymore. I had this problem with my laptop aswell.
Screenies:

I installed a new version of McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (Version 8.0) on my pc, which is also on my laptop. I think this is causing the trouble.
Anyone know how to fix this without removing my virusscanner?

Sounds like Mcafee is blocking connections. Shocked

Found this whilst browsing, but i'm not a Mcafee user myself.
Not sure if it's any help but here goes anyway...

IRC Doesn't Work. Question

My IRC client doesn't work after installing VirusScan 8. Question

VirusScan prevents rogue software from abusing IRC. If your IRC application is not on the list of allowed exceptions to this policy, here's how to permit it: Wink

Right-click the VirusScan shield icon in the System Tray.

Select VirusScan Console.

In the list of tasks, double-click the Access Protection task. In the list of rules, double-click the first Prevent IRC communication rule (there are two).

In the Excluded processes section (at the bottom), add the filename of your IRC application if it is not already listed. You do not need to specify the folder where this application is installed—just use its name. Then click OK.

Repeat with the second Prevent IRC communication task.

Close the Access Protection Properties window.

Close the VirusScan Console window.
