PROBLEM

    REwT found following.  The IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Client, pIRCh
    automatically  assigns  your  main  pirch  directory  to where DCC
    downloads are sent.  You can replace someone's script file with  a
    malicious one,  therefore recieving  control over  an ignorant irc
    tenant.  This can be done by sending a replacement file via DCC to
    the user.  Most people could  tell the user that it was  something
    cool, and they would accept it.  This was tested on pIRCh32 0.92.

SOLUTION

    In the newest version of pIRCh  it directs all dcc downloads to  a
    directory off of the main directory named 'downloads'. However  on
    all but the latest this information is correct.  You can fix  that
    by simply going to Tools.. then Preferences.  Flip to the DCC  tab
    and change your default DCC recieve directory to something that is
    not the main pIRCh directory.
