Thanks for the Malware, Sony

Mark Russonovich: “Not only had Sony put software on my system that uses techniques commonly used by malware to mask its presence, the software is poorly written and provides no means for uninstall. Worse, most users that stumble across the cloaked files with a RKR scan will cripple their computer if they attempt the obvious step of deleting the cloaked files.”

This, my friends, is the latest volley from the major media corporations in their war against consumers.
