Remove the script that does it.

That isn't part of standard eggdrop.

Due to the pre-compiled nature of windrops, they could be hiding backdoors.

It is sugested that you download them from known locations like http://sourceforge.net/projects/windrop/

These (while not guarenteed), will be free from backdoors.

i got it from there
and how do i get that auto kick off
the script wasn't the problem

The script was the problem, you just havn't removed the script fully.

When you remove the loading command from the config file, that is all you are doing. The same applies on a .rehash. The script is still in memory.

To fix this, totaly restart the bot.

Do you look in every sourcecode in every program you compile? who says that opensource can't contain backdoors?

Look at a piece of the code that interests you. If a couple thousand people each look at a piece of it, any backdoors will probably be found. So not everybody has to look at it, and nobody has to look at *all* of it, but it's still pretty safe.

No, but I don't run software from untrusted groups that have their reputation at stake if they were found to be hiding backdoors.
We know Eggdrop is 100% backdoor free -- there is the odd bug that turns into a remote exploit (not sure when the last one was .. must be long ago) -- but eggdrop is backdoor free but who knows about windrops .. would be an easy target for someone to pollute.
