Xbox 360 Round 2

If you missed out on buying the new Xbox 360 last week you have a second chance as additional supplies are expected this week. Microsoft says they are using “a weekly replenishment strategy.” Microsoft’s Molly O’Donnell says a second shipment “is on the way, and it should be on retailers’ shelves by the end of the week or for the weekend.”

Sony rootkit removal

If you are one of the unfortunate users who purchase a music CD from Sony and played it in your computer you may be infected by a rootkit which was installed in an attempt to protect the music. Rootkit are evil and can cause instability in the operating system. Lot’s of news has been posted about the Sony’s First4Internet XCP copy protection software. Sony did post a removal tool when people started to really complain except the tool created an even bigger problem when it installed an active-x plug in that could allow anyone to connect to a machine and run malicious code. You can find more information about the security problem related to the rootkit and removal tool here. Sony has released a corrected version of the removal tool but at this time I would not trust Sony and just remove the rootkit manually. You can find instruction for removal here.
