What to do when you have a virus
Have a sneaking suspicion that your client is infected with a virus?
Then it will be wise to leave/part all the channels you've joined, and join
#AVA. This will ensure that your chances of being banned from a channel are
minimal, and you will not pose a possible threat to other unsuspecting
users. When you have been checked and cleared of any viruses, you may
continue with your regular chat.
