Virus (Win32/Induc) in CombiWave 4.0.1.3
Unfortunately CombiWave 4.0.1.3 has been infected by the non-destructive malware Win32/Induc. The latter was not known to virus researchers when version 4.0.1.3 was released.
How to fix the problem?
- Normal users can fix the problem by updating to the latest version of CombiWave.
- Delphi developers should read the description of Win32/Induc and restore SysConst.dcu by overwriting it with SysConst.bak
Symptoms
- CombiWave.exe might disappear (virus scanners remove it)
- Installation of CombiWave 4.0.1.3 might fail
Luckily the malware does nothing if the Delphi software is not installed. It only modifies installations of the Delphi development environment to spread itself.
