According to this, an exposé by sysinternals about an evil Sony DRM technique has resulted not only in a backlash against Sony BMG, but also allowed World of Warcraft cheaters to defeat The Warden, Blizzard's Renguard.
I'm just wondering if this is something to be concerned about--not just with Renegade and Renguard, but in general. What's the likelihood of a new hoard of viruses that exploit this code? They would be virtually undetectable, from what I've read about rootkits.
Right now, Sony has released a "patch" to allow this rootkit to be detectable, but they are offering no uninstall unless you e-mail Sony directly...
