Usage: SET EXEC_PROTECTION [ON|OFF|TOGGLE]
If you saw a warning message telling you to read this, beware!
If anyone on irc told you that typing "ON ^MSG * $1-" or
"ON ^MSG <nick> $1-" would speed speed things up or otherwise
make life better for you, they are lying. The above commands
allow people to send you MSGs and have them executed as commands
by your ScrollZ. This can be a major security problem, since the
person who told you to do this can then execute any command you
could, including EXEC commands. This would give them control over
your account while you are on irc.

Anyway, if you did see this warning, it could be that someone is
trying to abuse your account. But, don't worry, the EXEC command
that it warned you about was not executed. If you are unsure about
what is going on, please contact your local irc operator for help.

If you know what you're doing, you can set EXEC_PROTECTION to OFF
and EXEC will be allowed within ON commands. Only do this if
you are sure you understand what is going on.
