can normal AV and spyware programs detect this crap they are putting on our cd's? if not...how would i be able to tell?

Microsoft is going to include detection and removal of this Sony malware soon in their Anti-Spyware definitions.

Also, they are going to include it in the December Malicious Software Removal Tool.

im utterly disgusted at sonys contempt for peoples computers. They had no right to hide this rookit crap on peoples music :no: i hope sony go bust to be honest :happy: ive never bought a sony cd and im not gonna start :crazy: im glad i buy music online and not on CD :yes:

I don't own many Sony CDs, thankfully I haven't bought one since early 2004 but after this fiasco I'm not going to buy a single Sony CD ever again and I'm going to encourage people to do the same, even if they have removed the protection now they just did to save their sorry behinds.

I'll never buy any cds from Sony from now on. Thjs rootkit installation is a private life invasion that no one at Sony would like to have on their own computer. And not telling the customer about that a rootkit installation on pc IS pretty like spyware. Good thing that Microsoft is aware of this and release a removal tool. We should globally sue Sony or at least boycott their products.

    • I can name 10x that on why not to switch.... It's funny outlook/office are going towards web app wrappers, and then MS is now preaching native apps again.... ugh can we just pick a lane and stay in it
    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
