As a measure against music piracy, certain recent CDs from Sony BMG Music Entertainment are equipped with copy protection software. This software uses cloaking techniques, which are also commonly used by virus writers. The CDs in question are labeled CONTENT ENHANCED & PROTECTED.
The Sony copy protection software itself is not malicious, but it exposes computers where it is installed to be exploited to hide malware.
If you have played CDs from Sony on your computer lately, you may download and run First4DRMfix to remove the vulnerable copy protection software from Windows 2000/XP computers.
