He notices that mirc.exe is one of the running processes. Miller recognizes mIRC as a very commonly used Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client program. Based on the evidence already gathered, Miller is suspicious that Wallace is using IRC to communicate with a co-conspirator. He selects the link labeled mirc.exe to learn more information about the mIRC process, as he had done previously with WINWORD.EXE.
