Recovery Instructions:
Please follow the instructions for removing infected executable files.
If you are a client who has received an application infected with W32/Induc-A or W32/Induc-B, please contact the supplier of the software. Inform them of the infection, and please ask them to contact either Sophos or the technical support of their anti-virus supplier as appropriate. When they have cleaned up their Delphi installation, they should then be able to supply you with clean versions of their software.
If you are a Delphi developer, or if you have Delphi installed and have possibly executed an infected application, then as well as cleaning up infected executables, you will also need to clean your Delphi installations. By default, Sophos products do not scan .dcu and .pas extensions, so you will need to turn on the option to scan all file extensions and do a full system scan. SAV will then detect infected SysConst.dcu files. Replace these with clean backups. If the virus has copied the original SysConst.dcu to SysConst.bak then copy SysConst.bak to SysConst.dcu. Leaving a copy of Sysconst.bak should prevent reinfection.
When you have cleaned Delphi, recompile clean versions of your software to redistribute to your customers and to replace the infected executables.
