"increased speed"

August 20, 2009  |   By Mindom

Version: GameBoost 1.8.17.2009

Pros

ease of pre programing programes to hybernate or to be stoped

Cons

Virus W32/Induc.A , located in C:\Program Files\IObit\Game Booster\GameBooster.exe

Summary

Would like a response from you

Caption from Sopho Labs http://www.sophos.com.au/blogs/sophoslabs/?m=200908

If it is a file-infecting virus then it may indeed be infecting otherwise legitimate software.

W32/Induc-A is no exception to this rule.

As Sophos has already blogged, we have seen over 3000 files infected by the Induc virus.

Furthermore, in the last 24 hours there have been at least 11 cases where customers have submitted samples claiming that we are erroneously detecting legitimate software.

All of them have been genuine infections.

Let me underline this point: We have not had a single false positive on W32/Induc-A, nor are we ever likely to see one. If Sophos says you have a W32/Induc-A infection, we mean exactly what we say.

The manner of W32/Induc-A?s infection mechanism makes it even more likely to spread from supposedly legitimate sources.

As was already explained in Richard?s blog article, infected executables do not directly infect other executables. Instead they infect a library module (SysConst.dcu) in the Delphi Development environment. When a software house producing Delphi applications becomes infected in this way, every executable it compiles is infected with the virus.

Internal applications quickly spread the infection to all the company?s developers, while external applications are distributed to customers. Customers may include other Delphi programmers, and thus the virus spreads.

What should I do if I have a W32/Induc-A, W32/Induc-B, Mal/Induc-A or Mal/Induc-B infection?
If you are a customer who has received an application infected with W32/Induc-A or W32/Induc-B, please contact the supplier of the software. Inform them of the infection, and please ask them to contact either Sophos or the technical support of their anti-virus supplier as appropriate. When they have cleaned up their Delphi installation, they should then be able to supply you with clean versions of their software.

If you are a Delphi developer, or if you have Delphi installed and have possibly executed an infected application, then it is not sufficient to simply disinfect infected executables. You will also need to clean your Delphi development environment. The most important part of this procedure is to make sure your anti-virus software can detect infected SysConst.dcu units, and replace these with clean backups. Then recompile clean versions of your software to distribute to your customers.

Of course, you should probably warn your customers about the problem at the same time.

Sophos has issued Genotype detection (Mal/Induc-A, Mal/Induc-B) for all infected versions of SysConst.dcu and SysConst.pas that we are aware of.

However, we would still like to see more samples of SysConst.dcu, SysConst.bak and SysConst.pas from any Delphi developers potentially affected by this virus, especially if you have customized versions of these units.

Sophos customers needing further assistance with W32/Induc-A, W32/Induc-B, Mal/Induc-A and Mal/Induc-B infections can always contact Sophos technical support.

"Only thing it boosts are the company profits."

November 1, 2006  |   By ssnake

Version: GameBoost 1.10.9

Pros

All it does is boost the forground process priority to high. "Process tamer" does the same thing and more for free. This program has sucked millions out of people and has changed names, gui's and owners often. It's for idiots and novices alike who have limited knowledge of windows xp.

Disclaimer: This is only my personal opinion.

Cons

everything

"Odd program."

October 17, 2006  |   By okwow

Version: GameBoost 1.10.9

Pros

It seems like it does something, but then again maybe it's my imagination. With only a click of a button it supposedly "tweaks" for better gaming performance.

Cons

Doesn't explain what exactly it "tweaks" nor does there website have any sort of useful information. I don't really know if it made my PC better or worse to tell the truth.

Pros

I downloaded this and their throttle program. they both seem to do the same thing and my net speed did incresae pretty good. I'd recommend because it's easy to use and helped my situation.
