It's not a "rootkit" in the malicious sense. Their copy protection code includes code that hides the copy protection files. So, trojan writers take advantage of this and code their trojans to have the same file names/extensions/etc as the protected sony files, thus hiding them from virus scanners.

Sony has since released a patch which makes the files visible to the OS.
