Does Sony virus sabatoge your computer? |
|
|
I heard on the radio that Sony has been planting software designed to
prevent copying DVDs that also slows down the computer and may lock up
your computer too. I don't know how the software invades the system but
I'm wondering if it came in with Sony software provided with my camcorder.
I uninstalled Sony software installed earlier. Still, I see Sony
applications in my disk directory. Suck files as SONYHCY.DLL,
SONYHCY.DLL, SONYPI.DLL, SONYHCP.DLL, SONYHCP.SYS, SONYHCS.SYS,
SONYHCC.SYS, SONYHCB.SYS, SONYpvs1.SYS are stll there. Anybody know if
this stuff can be removed? |

Google search for Sony rootkit, you'll get loads of info on what it is and
how to cheat it.
