Virus in Delphi 7

Question

When i compile a new project in Delphi 7 IDE , the MCafee identifies it as Virus and deletes it .

The virus identified as Generic.dx!gmk and is deleted by the antivirus so no new Exe is created .

How do we resolve this issue ?

Is this a false positive ?

Answer 1

Two possibilities:

1. False positive. You could submit your app to VirusTotal to check it against other AV tools.
2. You're infected with this virus which targets D7. This would cause Delphi to produce infected EXEs.
