Sony Rootkit, sucks too.

Posted on by

So, for the first time in my career today, I had to remove the Sony DRM Rootkit. It hides any files, folders, or registry keys starting in $sys$. Nasty. Here is how you remove it. Quick Fix:

  1. Run cmd /k sc delete $sys$aries
  2. Reboot
  3. Delete anything starting in $sys$

All clean.
