delphi virus?

My AVG (paid) anti-virus program signaled a threat from Win32/Induc.

It also shows as process name C:\windows\system32\svchost.exe, process id 1196.

From the descriptions on many AV sites, this virus attaches itself to Delphi based exe's. Those sites also say that no payload is deployed or destructive action taken, but, it does replicate itself and may cause problems as required applications and processes are quarantined or deleted.

So, the questions are: Are there any threats to DataCAD or DCAL from this virus? will this slow down DataCAD?

I'm moving it to the vault for now and will report back if there is any problem w/ DataCAD.

In the meantime, anyone know more?

ps: no new programs or downloads for the infected computer except AVG updates.
