I know that it's somewhat relevant to the virus, but I don't like the way
that they are describing the virus and what to do about it.  They seem to be
specifically encouraging people to avoid applications written in Delphi,
when you don't hear about avoiding applications written in MS VC++ when
there's a similar issue.

At least a part of it has to be "we want to sell anti-virus software so we'll scare you"

I was about to mention this.

Got it last night and the ONLY software I've downloaded in the past couple
days was example and demo programs from a couple of very well known
component companies.  Such is life.

It seemed so strange that I didn't believe AVG at first.

Here is the best article I've seen so far  http://tinyurl.com/mop4gg

It only affects D5 - D7 and I just upgraded to D7 a little while ago.  Smile
