try doing just the basic irc client, not some script client thing, and download from the official website, incase your trying to get some dodgy cracked copy . and you sure you've managed to get rid of the virus completely?? finally, see if the irc client is working via the cic tf2 website... if we still got that, i forget.

i had a irc virus once which wasn't nice. everything i tried resulted in failure and reformating was the only option

as for a reformat and throw out the window... surely the end result is the same if you don't reformat first. therefore reformating in that case is a waste of time?
