Reminds me of the "Induc" virus.

This virus infected Delphi installations, injecting its code and compiling it into a system library. All programs using the infected library contained the virus, including some popular ones.

Because they came straight from the developer, and the virus didn't do anything unless you had Delphi installed they were often considered false positive when they weren't. Originally, it had no malicious payload beside its replication mechanism.
