mIRC is a social platform that uses the Internet Relay Chat protocol. Its main purpose is to create a virtual connection between users all over the world, who can communicate via its chat capabilities. In addition, it also features a scripting language, which makes it extensible and highly customizable.
The installation process completes in a few seconds and only requires you to press a few ‘Next’ buttons. You can opt for the portable installation if you plan to carry the program on a removable device.
The interface is very friendly and intuitive, which makes the program accessible to all user categories. The steps you are required to complete in order to connect yourself are the following: enter a nickname, an alternative (in case your nickname is already taken), an optional name and e-mail, and select the server you prefer.
After you have successfully connected to a server (it may require several attempts), you can join a channel (either a predefined one from the Favorites window, or a new one), and start chatting with people. There’s no limit to the number of channels you can use.
If you are new to this environment, a glance at the help file is recommended. For example, you can manually write commands in the server window to reveal details of a user, find out how many people are on a channel, set a status, change nickname, and many others.
In addition, mIRC features support for file transfers, the IPv6 protocol, message logging and proxy settings. You can customize sounds and notifications, as well as spoken messages.
All in all, mIRC is a secure and reliable way to communicate with people all around the world. The built-in scripting language allows you to automate mIRC operations.
