Now that they are caught Sony is nervous obout the gaping security hole it makes and is offering a way to remove it.

Nasty sneaky stuff in my opinion.  But its kind of funny, that if you dont mind having this crap on your PC you can easily use it to hide illegal programs from Blizzards "Warden" software which used to find cheaters in WoW.

How likely is a Sony boycott by PC users and gamers? That would learn 'em . . . I don't have any Sony titles, games wise, and I will simply not buy any Sony CD for the next 10 years. Period. This was an unnecessary piece of PC "sheep buggery."
