You should learn how Unicode support is implemented in Delphi – start from Marco Cantu White Paper: Delphi and Unicode It is impossible to estimate the amount of work required to upgrade old applications to Unicode without knowing the actual code. If you were using string types … Read more
It is surprisingly common that Delphi applications are reported as (potentially) harmful by AV applications. It happened to me a while ago, using Delphi 2009, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Computing/2010_March_20#Delphi.2FAVG_Issue. At SO, we also have Virus in Delphi 7 Accidentally created a virus? and many more. It might be the actual Induc Virus. But most likely, it is … Read more
