New virus targets old versions of Delphi but not the applications developed with Delphi and not the current Delphi versions, just Delphi itself. I detest the jerks that write viruses and other forms of malware.  But this one really gets my goat generally because it was a virus that targeted my favorite best-of-breed development tool and specifically because ZDNet reported the problem in a way that implies it targets applications developed by Delphi. Despite ZDNet's tag line, the virus targets old versions of Delphi (4, 5, 6, and 7) but not the applications developed with Delphi and not the current Delphi versions. I sure hope the way ZDNet chose to report this issue doesn't hurt Embarcadero, the owner of Delphi, because of a virus that attacks pre-Embarcadero versions of Delphi.
