Ive been getting the message: You were kicked from #mp3download by Roc-A-Roo (Compromised Host. Known spambot/Trojan sender. Get Lost), on a number of servers.

I have not knowingly used bots or sent malicious software nor do my virus or adware checks show my machine as infected. My firewall is running so I am very confused as to why I get this message. Please Advise how I can fix.

Cheers

change your host/provider, or use proxy

So you are saying that my service provider has been found to be questionable or lax in its policing of its users?

I don't want to change providers, they are good from my point of view. What should they do or who should they contact to rectify the problem?

your best bet is you (not your ISP) talking to those ops who banned you; I guess your ISP couldn't care less about the well-being of its customers on warez irc channels

My guess is that the channel operators are running mIRC scripts that ban nicks suspected of being infected with a Trojan/Virus/Worm. It's "iffy" at best and totally unnecessary as Networks these days scan connecting clients anyway.

The following example will get banned:

bmartin82 (~bmartin82@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I suggest that you change your nick and fix your ident.
