A security expert found a rootkit at his system. Rootkit is an advanced technique used by malware to hide themselves from security software.

Apparently the rootkit is part of Sony's DRM, it's poorly written and might crash, opens a huge security hole, was not mentioned in EULA or anywhere else, and an attempt to remove it might kill your system.
What comes next? :angry:
