Don't buy CDs from Sony.
This is a cautionary tale. To summarise the article: if you buy a copy protected CD from Sony and play it in your computer, it will install "root kit" software i.e. software that hides itself and the DRM software. furthermore there is no way to uninstall this software easily and it also takes up a small percentage of your CPU all the time.
Sony should be sued to death for this.

Hi Jeremy,
I haven't read the link, but is this similar to the C-Dilla software that was being used a while back? I haven't seen it turn up in a Hijack this log recently, although I'm not as busy on the forums as I used to be. (To get rid of that, stop the process with HJT and then delete.. BTW)
Cheers
Liam

There seems to have been some progress.
