Is there a possibility to have another name than wircd.exe for the executable?

Sure, you would have to modifly unreal.exe and re-compile it though.

... which isn't supported.

But the source code for the win version is not availeble, or am I wrong?

UnrealIRCd is one source code, it compiles on windows and nix.

If it's not a silly question, why would you need to rename wircd.exe?

... to disguise it in the process list of a hacked box (svshost.exe, etc..)

no, but my silly Antivir program has something against this name.

Then email the antivirus company and tell them wircd.exe is not a virus. Ususally it isn't the name of the application, but what it consists of.

Why in the world would any anti-virus care about UnrealIRCd? lol

Some antivirus programs are over-protective of the users computer, and often see normal applications as viruses.

Speaking of Anti-Viruses McAfee hates the cloaking module so i just told it to allow it. Which im pretty sure is a feature of most good Anti-Virus products. The ability to trust files based on your decision.
