MESSAGE:
Folks;
Many users are reporting the error message "This module was compiled
with a trial version of Delphi. The trial period has expired" when their
computers startup.
Borland has traced this to a %windir%\system32\cpr.dll which appears to
be some kind of malware. I would suspect that a registry run key is
starting cpr.dll or some .exe file which is starting cpr.dll.
If anyone has this problem on their computer or knows someone who does,
direct them here so we can diagnose it. The bug was apparently released
26 November or the software trial expired on that date. I've searched
various spyware forums and googled the error and haven't found any
bulletins about this bug, although someone reported that Ad-Aware
removed it, so it might already be a known bug, just news that the trial
software has now expired.
