Comment Sony's rootkit trick lighty modified? (Score 0) 333
This kinda reminds my of Sony's rootkits from music CDs a little. If I remember correctly installing programs without user permission/knowledge is bad, doing so and making it as imposable to remove or disable as possible is really bad. And the fact that Windows 7 is the only OS that has the option to disable it seems like MS is once again trying to force users to upgrade. "We know 7 is safer than XP because we booby trapped XP!".
