  1. Comment - Texas Sues Sony BMG Over CD Rootkit

    (Nov 22, 2005 - 12:07 PM)

    Sony also is installing the RootKit software on it trial versions of its professional media products. like Sound Forge V7.0 and other programs like Vegas Video. Each time you start these programs afterwards, the softeare tries to contact Sony's site to send information about the computer. Their invasion of our computers is much deeper than just the Music CD's. I had set up a Fire Wall prohibiting my Sony produsts form dialing home. I kept getting notices that the programs were trying to dial home. I downloaded the RootKit Revealer program to scan m computer and it found offensive RootKit programs installed. I have never put a Sony BMG CD in this particular computer or any on my network. Where did this come from. SOmeone should check other Sony programs to see if they are insatlling the Rootkit Software as well.
