mIRC 7.1

Popular Internet Relay Chat client for Windows

mIRC is a shareware IRC client for Windows. mIRC is a highly configurable IRC client with all the goodies other clients on UNIX, Macintosh and even on windows offer, combined with a clean user interface. mIRC offers full color text lines, DCC File Send and Get capabilities, programmable aliases, a remote commands and events handler, place sensitive popup menus, a great Switchbar, World Wide Web and sound support, and... a lot more. mIRC is shareware but not crippled in any way. The latest versions of mIRC all support secure server connections via SSL using the OpenSSL library. To use the OpenSSL library with mIRC you will need to download the library and place it in the mIRC folder or in the Windows System folder.
