What does all this have to do with this thread? shouldn't it go somewhere more seen by the forum members ???

Hello, Eitan.

To a certain extent, I do agree with your point of view.

My "red alert" post was not meant to accuse any plugin developer personally. It was meant to tell that W32/Induc is in the wild. It tries to infect any Delphi 4 (or newer) development environment. As a consequence, any Delphi developer may be a victim of this malware and the users running his programmes as well. So we all will have to watch out.

Yet, I agree there is a dedicated thread about this topic, W32/Induc-A virus infects Delphi sysconst.dcu, and it makes sense to keep all posts on this subject in that thread from now on.

Kind regards,
Karl

karlchen,

Now I understand. I also saw that two of my own Delphi 5 programs are suspected. I have fully updated NAV efinitions, and all my EXEs are UPXed. But I will do a full check on C: as well as on my non-UPXed EXEs and report my findings.

Thank you.

Later: You are right.... I saw that the virus does nothing except pollute compiled D programs... Stupid. I am doing a full scan and will restore an old backup.

I found out that Symantec discovered this virus on Aug 18th, but I have _supposedly_ infected files compiled on July 27th !!!

eitang,

Have you recompiled Copytotabs so it doesn't contain the virus?

Boofo,

NO. I am still trying to clean... You can see my troubles in:

2eitang,

Ouch! Sorry about that. I guess I can count my lucky stars that I suck at Delphi coding, huh?

Boofo and all,

As stated in a separated thread, I found the solution to this W32.Induc.A Virus and all my files are corrected on my site.

BTW the repaired CTT got fat - 600k instead of 250, and "Already Compressed" !!!

Boofo · Post by *Boofo » 2009-08-21, 11:59 UTC

Downloaded and replaced CTT. I had to delete the INI file as it was giving an error and would not close the program. It was remade on the next startup.

eitang · Post by *eitang » 2009-08-21, 13:01 UTC

Yes, Boofo, I added a function which I haven't had time to announce, and which ads another item to the INI. On the first run CTT tries to read it, but cannot find it... Hence the problem. After delete and re-run, the problem is over, Sorry.

The new feature is allowing to disable and to change the time "Baloon" hins show...

It is all documented in the help. Also the .INI file structure.

2eitang,

The only bad thing was I had to use task manager to close the program as it would not close when I tried to close it. Hopefully, anyone else that runs into this will see this here and know what to do.

And thanks for the update, sir.

Boofo,

It is possible to watch for the first run of a program and delete the INI but needs a lot of work... Mybe I should add a small read.me to inform the users. It is not always necessary, only when I add options that are saved.

Boofo · Post by *Boofo » 2009-08-21, 15:08 UTC

2eitang,

No biggie for me as I got it taken care of. I just thought you should know is all.

Hi All,

24.8.2009 : Version 5.5.0.5

-- Corrected a bug : Editing Desti text Not possible to add \ As ALt-Gr went into the OTHER list immediately <g>

-- I added a warning before copying a whole Root directory, or copying a FOLDER to a ROOT directory... (hundreds of files could be spread into the target root directory.)

Download Latest (v5.5.0.5) CopyToTabs

( No need to delete the INI file as no new options are saved to it <g> )

This version gives an error "is not a valid integer value
and can't be stopped after that. It has tio be killed using task manager.

Horst,

>> This version gives an error "is not a valid integer value

This has been discussed...

It is because I added features that are kept in the INI file. The new program tries to read from your old INI file and finds... '' i.e. nothing.

Hence the problem.

The solution is either a lot of work on my part, possibly polluting your Registry, OR a delete of the INI on your part...

You must have "skipped" a version as this one adds nothing to the ini? As I mentioned. I should have added "from previous version" <G>

Sorry.
