Full Version: dvd rootkits
Blame it on that foul four lettered word; Sony
I wouldn't be suprised if the distributor is a Sony owned subsidiary.

If you have Any DVD runing in the background It will block the rootkit from installing while you watch the movie or make a backup copy of it.
Great! Now even watching a DVD is a security threat! Damnit Sony! 
A bit off the topic, but I noticed one of the topics in Mr. Gates' presentation that you gave a link to, hazelnut:
Ah, so Trustworthy Computing is something we need now, eh? I'd be interested in seeing what William thinks we don't need.

In Microsoft Windows there is a "autorun" feature for CD and DVD's that automatically run files on the disc if an autorun.inf file is specified.
You can disable the autorun feature or hold down the SHIFT key while inserting/loading the disc to prevent it from run autorun.
Never run any executable (.exe, .msi, .bat, .cmd, .com) or scriptfile found a music CD or movie DVD.

Yeh, aslong as they write that they will install their spyware/rootkit crap on your computer in a minimal small text using obfuscated law-speak, it is okay for them to install crap on your computer since everyone always bother to read that text.

"Faster Than Light"?! lolololololol!!!111!!!!!!
My dear JohnDemolition: FTL = For The Lose, which means it sucks. And in case I ever feel the need to utilize FTW, that refers to For The Win, which means it anti-sucks. A lesson in stupid Internet acronyms.
A good site to check out for even more pointless phrases (and their definitions) is the Urban Dictionary. Taught me everything I know. Almost.
