The Trojan then connects to an IRC server and joins a predefined chat channel. It listens for commands to execute. These commands allow a hacker to gain unauthorized access to an infected computer and potentially conduct a Denial of Service attack against other computer systems.

This virus did not get onto your computer by connecting to IRC. You need to figure out HOW this trojan got onto your system. What have you been downloading?
Furthermore, you need to state why you believe it connects to the channel specified by Shawn319's signature. I don't see HOW you would know this.
Finally, I am just a dev for this project. I don't have access to any IRC logs. I don't even have access to our CVS to modify files. I prefer it that way so that I can avoid this sort of situation - malicious accusations from people trying to discredit my name.
