Hi again :)

Here's another tutorial for you guys.
Few notes were left on this one. But you will see it is quite straight foward.
Did you ever wondered how Windows Media Player did to put their player in the task bar???
Did you ever wanted to make a search application faster than the one provided with Windows ?
How to add a toolbar?

Here I come with an answer for these questions
Go trough the tutorial and you will be able to implement your cool app within windows.
This works on XP and Vista ( both tested ).

For the installation of your dll read carefully the installations notes in the release dir. :)

This is a tutorial from Developers Heaven team.

I would have thought that this is just the way that this program is designed is recognized as a way that viruses can attack your computer, but using the stuff JMDG has in the archive you could build a version from source if you don't trust it, but I can assure you that this has no virus.

JM-DG 20 Aug 2009, 18:27 #

@Everybody
About the virus thing, all my tutorials are indeed infected. I found this out 4 days ago.
(Antivir companies found it 2 days ago (that's why it didn't showed up as infected before), I reported this issue 4 days ago)
Don't panic It is a minor virus all it does is reproduce itself.
Let me explain you how the virus works in order to explain you why my tutorials became bearer of this virus.
The virus can only reside in programs programmed in delphi.
(By the way 30% of delphi programmers got stroked by this virus ).
The compiler used to compile these lines of code is Delphi7.
The virus infect a file always used by the compiler Delphi (low-level essential code).
The virus attacks only from delphi 4 to delphi 7.
Then each time the programmer who is infected make a program or compile using Delphi his program becomes bearer of this virus.

How you become infected: by launching a program which is infected.
So I became infected by executing an infected program (ex. could be notepad).

Details:
In the Internet appeared peculiar for Delphi virus. Its essence is that infested the program searches the disk installed version of Delphi, and if found, modifies the file SysConst.dcu (old version is saved under the name SysConst.bak), and then all the programs in Delphi, compiled on the computer begin to accurately Delphi also infect those computers where they are run. The virus has contributed to the fact that some versions of the popular messenger QIP have been infected with them (the developers of QIP has apologized for it). So far, the only detectable deleterious effect of the virus - is that due to a bug in its code when you run an infected program raises Runtime error 3 if the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Borland \ Delphi \ x.0 (x - 4 to 7) contains an incorrect parameter value RootDir (for the correct value of the error does not occur).

IMPORTANT
If you do not have delphi installed on your computer the virus will just do nothing.
If you have delphi installed, just follow these following steps to disinfect you/to know if you are infected.

Check your version of Delphi, and if you find yourself in SysConst.bak, follow these steps: (SysConst.bak is normally located on:C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Lib)
1. Remove SysConst.dcu
2. Rename SysConst.bak into SysConst.dcu. Keep yourself a copy of SysConst.bak.
3. Remove all the compiled exe of your projects that you have made so far to avoid reinfection.
The infected sysconst.dcu is about 17KB while the original sysconst.bak is about 11KB.

In other words, the virus is really not offensive.
The actual purpose of this virus was that anti-virus detect it, so that all delphi programmers become penalized because users don't trust programs detected as virus... -_-

@tobyb121
So if a user has executed an infected program, everytime he will make a program then compile it his program will be infected. Even if he has a clean source.

I hope I made everything clear for you.

JM-DG 20 Aug 2009, 20:11 #

I will reupload the fixed and clean tutorials tomorrow.
Don't worry.

JM-DG 21 Aug 2009, 13:03 #

All tutorials/releases in delphi that I've made are now virus-free.
Sorry for the trouble.

munai 21 Aug 2009, 19:01 #

@JM-DG thank you very much sir.
@tobyb121 Sir please be sure before telling us about virus free..otherwise it will be free virus..no offense plz..

tobyb121 21 Aug 2009, 21:20 #

@munai, I am sorry for saying that, I was really just trying to say that JM-DG is a very trusted user and wouldn't knowingly put a virus into his release. I am just glad that this is so easily fixed, and thanks JM-DG for handling this so well and quickly. Somehow I didn't seem to be effected by this, even though I have used most of your tutorials and have downloaded pingz etc. I'm using delphi 7 SE, which seems odd?

JM-DG 21 Aug 2009, 22:16 #

@ munai
tobyb121 was not entirely wrong because looking at my source code there was no virulent code. The virus was being injected at a low-level something he could not know ^^.

munai 22 Aug 2009, 16:44 #

@tobyb121, I am sorry for being so rude...Asta is the best and most reliable source ever. That is why i was astound. Sorry again mate.
