Sony-BMG Entertainment has been under fire from a blogger-fueled media storm after the discovery of spyware-like technology in its CDs.
Windows security expert Mark Russinovich first revealed the existence of a rootkit device on 20 of Sony’s musical selections in late October, and within days trojan writers were taking advantage of the cloaking technology to gain access to PCs.
A handful of internet weblogs called for boycotts of Sony products less than a month before the holiday shopping season was about to begin, and on Nov. 13 Sony released a statement saying it would withdraw the application from its CD-Roms.
Business PC users were concerned the cloaking technology could lead to the compromise of sensitive corporate information, voicing their concerns in a November Sophos poll that showed 98 percent of enterprise users felt the digital rights management technology was a threat.

Review: SecureDoc
SecureDoc is a competent full disk encryptor that uses the AES algorithm and SHA-2 hashing. It works with a token to which the user can save the key file, rather than saving it on the computer. This adds significant extra security – if the user does not store the USB token in their laptop case. The product also supports basic password security and quite a wide range of third-party pre-boot authentication products.
