Can't get in to chat.

Can't get in to chat.
Lately, when I've tried to get into chat, this error message is thrown -

Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (A-banned: [AKILL ID:1332397005K-y] [exp/comp] Compromised host, go to http://kline.dal.net/exploits/akills.htm (2012/03/22 20.09))

As I'm not in the habit of going to random links just because some software claims I should, can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here?

In the meantime, I'm making sure my AV is up-to-date and running a full scan.

RE: Can't get in to chat.
Are you using the client that is built into the chat.php webpage?

If so, can you try and use a proper IRC client? There is a tutorial on how to make it work with Pidgin: http://atheistforums.org/thread-4019.html

Yes, using chat.php.

Cool, I use Pidgin already - the only IRC I ever use is the one here, so I've never bothered to use anything but the embedded client. I'll give it a try.

Yeah, Mibbit (browser chat client) is temperamental at the best of times.

I appear to be connected with Pidgin, not seeing any other activity though, so not sure it's really working.
