Title: Hidden DRM
Review: Sony-BMG put software on this disk (and many others) that uses techniques commonly used by malware to mask its presence. The DRM software developed by a British company First 4 Internet is poorly written and provides no means for uninstall. The software, known as XCP, indiscriminately hides registry keys. Registry keys are the values used by Windows operating system to run, configure and maintain software on the system and potentially allow malicious code to use the copy-protection software to hide itself.For most users Windows users that stumble across the cloaked files with a (rootkit detector) scan will cripple their computer if they attempt the obvious step of deleting the cloaked files.This malware can avoided by using a non Windows computer - Linux or a Mac
