Wow, things just get better and better for Sony and their big mistake. If you have not already heard, Sony has taken it upon themselves to install software on your computer when you insert certain CD’s into your computer. This software is for Digital Rights Management. One of the things the software does is make “$sys$” files invisible. So now there is a variant of a trojan that just uses similarly named files so that as long as Sony’s Rootkit is installed, the trojan is completely invisible.

Thanks again Sony.
