The ARIES Rootkit Remover v1.0 is designed to locate and permanently remove the rootkit that was developed by First4Internet and used by Sony BMG to hide their digital rights management (DRM) software. Unlike Sony's own rootkit remover that has been known to cause blue screens, Lavasoft's ARIES Rootkit Remover is a reliable, stand-alone tool.
In fall of 2005, Sony included rootkit-style content protection software on around 4.7 million CDs from over 50 artists worldwide, exposing consumer's computers to security holes. The rootkit, developed by First4Internet, was placed on unsuspecting systems and networks to hide Sony BMG's DRM protection software. According to Sony, about 6 million distributed CDs are currently imbedded with this software.
