You Can't Hide
Rootkits are cloaking technologies that hide files, Registry keys, and other system objects from diagnostic and security software, and they are usually employed by the authors of malware, including viruses, spyware, and trojans, to attempt to hide their presence from spyware blockers, antivirus, and system management utilities.
This discovery by famed Windows utility programmer Mark Russinovich, is a public relations disaster for Sony and the hundreds of bands whose music is being distributed in their copy protected format.
Great thinking there, Sony.
