Tips & Tricks in EurekaLog, part 1

Many our customers often ask trivial questions about how to do different things with EurekaLog. Well, we have a bit of documentation (chm-file and online one), which describes some public internals, which you can use to customize default behavior. Apparently, this is “dictionary”-like style documentation. In order to use it, you must study all pieces and then come with some way of putting them together to get the desired behavior. Looks like this is too much work for many people, as they continue to ask trivia questions like “My application runs in unattended environment. How can I disable EurekaLog's dialog?”.

Check your Delphi’s installation – it may be infected

First of all, a brief disclaimer:
This is not a notice about virus in EurekaLog! Please, do not misread/misunderstand this blog’s post.

May be EurekaLog’s blog is a bit unsuitable for this kind of post, but I decided to post it here anyway. The reason for this is that this threat is quite new, so not all anti-viruses can detect it (I’m aware only of Kaspersky’s anti-virus), it appears that large part of Russian Delphi’s developers are infected with this thing (not sure about other communities), and, finally, I’ve spotted a suspicious support tickets, that may be caused by this.
