ruxma Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I and many with me got message ”transfer not allowed” in SS3.3. I had to reformat harddisk. Now i got an idea. Perhaps it is a consquence of Sonys ”root-virus”? That is kind of virus that acts as copy protection. If somebody else has the problem it could perhaps be worth to download a killer for that insidious program from Sonys homepage here: http://cp.sonybmg.com/xcp/english/updates.htmlGeorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spex Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It has nothing to do with root virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgillespie Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It has nothing to do with root virus.LOL "Virus", someone has been believing everything they read in the news... It's NOT a virus, it's a root kit, totally different things. A rootkit is a program that behaves in stealth like ways to prevent detection. You can have legitimate root kit programs, like the Sony DRM, or malicious root-kits like spyware and viruses. Just because it's a root kit, does NOT mean it's spyware or a virus..I'm not defending Sony, but people need to understand the differences. The Sony DRM rootkit does nothing malicious to your system. (The removal tool is another matter...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxma Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) LOL "Virus", someone has been believing everything they read in the news...You must read between lines. I know that it is not a real virus. Didn't you see the quotation marks?Or you can call it a virus. That is a question of definition.A virus is a program that you haven't asked for and hide itself so you can't find it. It does things with your computer that you have not asked for. With that definition it is a virus.And as it is hidden hackers have used it to hide real virus as "Breplibot.b"As it prevents you from coping CD's more than three times, I don't find it too far-fetched that something could has got wrong so it prevented also from transfering in Sonicstage.Georg Edited January 31, 2006 by ruxma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
