On Sat, 6 May 2000 some message from Bernie appeared before me saying,

Yeps mIRC spreads the virus two.. I looked over the virus yesterday. And
it looks on the local harddrive where mIRC is installed.. it then installs
a trigger in mirc.ini that will send the virus to anyone joining a channel
where the user is currently chatting.

The virus it self is written very weak, obviously written by a
student. Anyone which can write a little visual basic could have build
this virus..
