By then, it may be too late and they may have lost something important.Īnd, of course, 6.35 is being recommended if people cannot use 7.x due to code pages. For many, it takes a major thing affecting them directly (such as being hacked) to get them to take updating seriously. These are often the same people who will then complain when something happens because they are using outdated software. Trying to get people to update is very difficult and often a waste of time. This may be due to laziness, not checking to see if there are updates, or not wanting the update for some reason such as broken addons or unwanted features. Unfortunately, many people (especially those who are not very tech savvy) don't bother to stay updated. Of course, that doesn't mean that we can't keep bugging them to update. If you use an older version of mIRC, you are leaving yourself open to exploits. It is rarely a good idea to use any version of mIRC other than the latest version as it always includes the latest security and bug fixes. mIRC v6.35 was specifically released to fix a security issue in mIRC v6.34 and earlier versions, as indicated on the Latest News page.
In addition, you should not use mIRC v6.34. If only one or two, out of around forty, report a trojan/virus, that usually indicates a false-positive. If you suspect that your anti-virus software is not working correctly, you can visit a site like Virus Total which checks an uploaded file with all of the major anti-virus applications. This is called a false-positive and the only way to resolve the issue would be to contact your anti-virus software vendor to report the issue. If you are seeing a trojan/virus warning, this probably indicates that your anti-virus software is incorrectly thinking that the installer has a trojan/virus when it does not. The latest version of mIRC, v7.19, does not include OpenCandy or any other additions.
