Wikinews: "Mark Russinovich, of SysInternals.com, has discovered a so-called 'rootkit' which is installed by Sony's new digital rights management-protected music compact disks (CDs). A rootkit is a common name for malicious software that is used by hackers or criminals to gain access to a computer system and be able to clandestinely run other malicious code. Rootkits frequently contain hidden and hard to remove files and are designed to be difficult for the user to remove.
Russinovich explains that naively removing the files will result in a crippling of the operating system on the user's computer."
So, if you want to ruin your computer, buy Sony CDs.
