chiawaikian Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 German DVDs of the movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' carry a digital rights management (DRM) software with rootkit features, according to F-Secure. Settec Alpha-DISC copy protection hides its processes from the user, but unlike the Sony XCP rootkit it cannot hide other files and programs, making it less of a threat. Settec offers an uninstaller for its DRM, but F-Secure vice-president Antti Vihavainen argues that program should never hide themselves from users or the administrators responsible for the maintenance of a machine.
