Remember that Sony Rootkit DRM Scandal a little while back? The one that boned your computer with a rootkit when you put in a CD with Sony's DRM on it? Well, Sony's just agreed to pay out $150 to customers to "repair damage done" when they tried to remove the rootkit.
Also, they need to provide an uninstall tool and patches to repair any damage done by their rootkit and display it on their website.
A couple of months ago while copying CDs to use in the car, I got the warning about "active content".
Knowing even less than I know now, I thought what ? its only a CD. I`m offline. Well, having read now about rootkits has got me wondering about that CD. And I`ve no idea which CD it was, but like everyone else, I have plenty of Sony albums.
How can I find out if that CD was this Sony "malware" ?
