  • Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far

    It appears that a CD by Sony, that has DRM software, installs a permanent rootkit on your system if you play it. This fact is apparently hidden from the user and the EULA.

                  I just scanned it with this app, and it seems that World Community grid has a hidden process and a hidden file.

                  Anyway, how do I delete them now?
