Comments 
Noob 4.0 is a Active X trojan. This means the trojan is imbedded in an actual htm file. Noob 4.0 works on Internet Explorer 5.0 and some versions of 5.5. When the page is viewed with internet explorer you must say yes to an Active X question or else the trojan will not install. Unlike the pervious versions of Noob, this version has a wizard program to create the htm file. This wizard program allows a second file, which could be another trojan or virus, to be embedded in the htm file. 

How To Remove 
Quick fix: no quick fix programs
Manual removal:

  1. Reinstall mIRC.
