Though AmIRC apparently is riddled with backdoors and security holes.


Some links to this effect would be interesting.

Never noticed a memory leak in AmIRC... I would use it for between six to 12 hours at a time.  In fact, for a while I was leaving it on for days at a time.  Could it be one of the MUI classes leaking?

The last time I used it regularly was probably a good three years ago.  Saw heavy usage bewteen 1997-ish and 2004, with Kuang11 installed.  I would assume several of the MUI custom classes used by AmIRC have seen updates if not out-right replacements since then.

It still runs very well for me when I fire it up, but it seems that the IRC social channels have all but been abandoned.
