Re: Handyperson's guide to removal of SONY ROOTKIT! said by sonybmg:Please be advised that we have already made available a proper uninstaller at » cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/updates.html. This is the only safe and secure method for removing the protection components of which SONY BMG is aware. Hey, thanks!
Everybody has had a field day with Sony BMG's handling of this issue but, of course, it's very reassuring to know that you are the only ones to provide a guaranteed cure for your infection.
We might as well ask the Sober guys for an AV signature for their product. It'd most surely be the most "safe and secure method".
Thanks a lot, but I've stopped buying Sony BMG's CDs, and so are my relatives, friends, neighbours and everybody I know who is interested in music. Some of them even say it's safer to download music from P2P than buying one of your CDs, what do you know?
At the end of the day, your masters might have done P2P the biggest favour since the original Napster.
Best regards

Naval Air Station/ Jrb, TX | Re: Handyperson's guide to removal of SONY ROOTKIT Thanks Kevin. I was looking at that Sony "removal program" site this morning and wondering whether it actually would work or not. Now I don't have to wonder.
Yes, I have a Sony computer infected with the Sony rootkit from the VanZant cd. I am also a BOClean user. I started to follow the manual removal instructions posted by Kevin, but found it a bit over my head after a while.
Oh, I also live in Texas, where the attorney general filed a lawsuit against Sony. Right now, I am waiting to see what happens with that lawsuit. Then I am going to simply reformat my computer and start from scratch.
This is very frustrating.  | |
