Ive been getting the message: You were kicked from #mp3download by Roc-A-Roo (Compromised Host. Known spambot/Trojan sender. Get Lost), on a number of servers.

I have not knowingly used bots or sent malicious software nor do my virus or adware checks show my machine as infected. My firewall is running so I am very confused as to why I get this message. Please Advise how I can fix.

Cheers

The following example will get banned:
