Thanks. This was a frustrating event to cover because many of the insightful stories were on Wired which has revoked our visa.

I have been using sysinternal's rootkit revealer for over a year now and run it on all of our company computers as a scheduled task.

When it completes it emails the results to me and I connect to the affected computers and remove the suspect files, no harm no foul. I don't generally go through additional steps to determine who's rootkit is being dropped in the system.

The problem I have with Sony is that it will be very hard for them to claim that the rootkit wasn't installed secretly,(which is what they are now claiming), because one of the characteristics of a rootkit file is that it assumes an alias of a known benign file to prevent spyware programs from detecting it.
