an eggdrop is an irc robot ('bot') that is used to generally control an irc channel. the bots can be scripted (mostly using tcl) and so are often used by hackers to control irc channels.. (ofc they can be used for trivia, giving your mates access, translating stuff, getting google answers etc etc etc)
take a look at www.eggheads.org for a better explanation/description

An eggdrop won't abuse your system but the users running it may. Eggdrop tend to associate with irc-related activities so be careful if someone is hosting it on your system.

Also check if your datacenter allows IRC processes.
