Sony Rootkit DRM Saga Gets Messy
From PCMag, Sony's incredible gaffe - creating a DRM applet that loads prior to the operating system - has caused an incredible furor. Sony agreed to suspend the program, but that's not all. Now the rest of the world is piling on. Microsoft now says it will delete the rootkit directly with its anti-spyware program, and it'll be included in the December version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool. And it looks like the Macintosh, which is also affected by the rootkit, might still be at risk.
I would be very careful of any of the new CD's I buy - if they are from Sony/BMG then they might have this!
