Sony “Rootkit” and DRM “Removal”

UPDATE- Link to download removal tool is at http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/updates.html

—

Sony BMG and First 4 Internet have just released an update that will completely
remove the rootkit based DRM content protection software and replace it with a
non-rootkit DRM technology that is compatible with all current security
protocols. To ensure the security of your system, please visit their software
update website to obtain and install Service Pack 2 at:

     http://updates.xcp-aurora.com

If after this update, you still wish to uninstall our software, please visit the
form below using the computer where the software is currently installed and you
will be emailed an uninstall link within 1 business day (M-F).

TIP: Our uninstall request form will require a small ActiveX plug-in
        (from First 4 Internet). Be sure to also temporarily turn off any
        pop-up blocker software. Although a non-ActiveX process is in
        development, currently, our online process is the only option.
        Should you prefer to wait for the next uninstallation version,
        one is due to be released later this month at:

Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance.
