Pete_C Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Also in theory, the next windows update will include sony rootkit removal tool in the malicious software automated removal . Although given the dangers involved in having this on your system if you know how to follow grinlers steps and you know you are infested you should not wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
