Well, the aptly chosen name of this malware, presented to the public
as freeware, does include "Beware". How considerate.

It may be wise to avoid using it; spread the word.

I have to ask .... how exactly did you confirm this?

The filename you quoted is listed at several anti-virus websites, such as
Sophos, but this does not necessarily reflect the same file that is used in
the program you are referring to.

http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32forbotcq.html

Have you uploaded the file to Jotti's online scanner for analysis
confirmation?

i am the author of beware ircd. this program is not a trojan. this can be
verified by anyone by running it and monitoring all incoming and outgoing
traffic.
the reason this program is called a trojan is because it is being abused
by script kiddies for their "botnets", and probably got included in some
3rd party malware package, and as such flagged by a virus scanner company.

I wouldn't install and-or use that program in any case. The OP only
serves as a warning, IMO.
