EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Ranking: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

Virus.Induc.a is a term used to refer to a family of viruses with a few viruses, also known as the Induc virus or compile-a-virus (due to its ability to attack files written in Delphi at compile time.) The Virus.Induc.a virus has had several iterations with an extremely strong version apparently reviving in September of 2011. The newest version of the Virus.Induc.a can attack almost any executable file and cause the infected computer system to download dangerous malware, which includes keyloggers and backdoor Trojans associated with dangerous botnets. According to ESG security researchers, the Virus.Induc.a can quickly jump from one file to the other, quickly infecting many computers. Like many viruses, Virus.Induc.a can also search out and infect removable memory devices, such as USB memory drives and memory cards.

How the Virus.Induc.a Virus Works
The Virus.Induc.a corrupts as many files as possible on the infected computer system, causing it to download and install dangerous malware onto the infected computer system. Malware analysts have discovered spying software and backdoor Trojans on computer systems originally infected with the Virus.Induc.a virus. The original version of the Virus.Induc.a virus was thought to be mostly harmless due to its limited abilities. However, the newest variant is quite dangerous and much more powerful. While the previous version of Virus.Induc.a only targeted compilers for software written in Delphi versions four through seven, newer versions of the Virus.Induc.a virus (often identified as "variant p") can infect other products apart from the Delphi compiler. According to ESG security researchers, the Virus.Induc.a viruses are capable of instant infection, causing system problems and disruption in less than a second.
Protect Yourself from the Virus.Induc.a Virus
ESG malware analysts consider that Virus.Induc.a variants are especially prevalent in 'software download' websites through developers using Delphi or RAD studio, the main targets of the Virus.Induc.a virus. This is actually more dangerous than typical malware distribution sources, as these are often sources for legitimate software. This means that developers may compile corrupted software believing that, as it comes from a legitimate source, it must, therefore, be clean. It is also important to be careful with normal sources of virus infections, such as infected memory devices and corrupted files sent out as email attachments. Because a Virus.Induc.a virus infection is so fast and powerful, many anti-virus programs will have a problem stopping Virus.Induc.a, before Virus.Induc.a starts. However, a fully-updated anti-virus should be able to erase Virus.Induc.a, before Virus.Induc.a gets out of hand.
