Following the link to F-Secure, I found out that two "Trojans," or xcp.sony.rootkit (crap) was actually installed from two of my CD's. Look at the top CD on the F-Secure site; currently, this artists newest CD (3rd installation) does not support this software.

Bellsouth internet security defines this as a trojan horse/spyware/and a rootkit. This is troubling. I'm straight up tired of seeing it in my list of "problems"

Does the EULA agreement even say, "Hey buddy, listen, we are installing secret software."? I hate having stuff I don't know about, and seeing it defines as a Trojan Horse sickens me.

Technically, it shouldn't pose a problem. But a very useful link on the problem can be found at:

Pest... Ha... It really is a pest.

IF a hacker wanted to, they suggest that this software could be used to support their little intrusion. Once again: Troubling.

Oh well... Just another one of a million programs installed on our accounts that we don't know about...

Sony, as a company, needs to create "legal" uninstall software. Manually deleting this program can render some of your devices useless and leaves you open to even more attacks.
