yikes! curious message on pc

[countzero]

If you played a sony music cd on your pc, or installed any software provided by sony (soundstage etc.) there's a good chance sony has placed a rootkit on your pc to prevent you from copying their cds. And no spyware or ad aware program is able to detect it at the moment as far as I know. Worse enough, some hackers found a way how to abuse this rootkit and you may have a dozen viruses/trojans exploiting this gap right now. Sony is in deep trouble because of this mess (well deserved). you can read more about it on these pages :

I wish sony dies a painful death because of this. I'll never buy a sony again anymore (maybe I can make an exception for ps3)
