After the discovery of a malware using the
Sony DRM Software”s rootkit capability, Sony has now
suspended the distribution of its DRM Software.
But, despite of the critical issue on Sony”s software, they
are not making their removal kit readily available. To get
information on how to remove the rootkit component, you have togive out
some information first that you might not want to disclose but
you are urged to do so because you don”t want to sit naked
under the sun.
Mark Russinovich of SysInternals illustrated that the
way Sony”s Software installed is misleading. He also added
that the removal patch which Sony had released has a possibility of
giving out BSOD or “Blue-Screen-Of-Death” and data
losses. For more technical explanations, please
