Yesterday we brought you news about a new sony protection being picked up as a virus from popular Anti virus software. 24 hrs later we can bring you news about a quick fix for this issue. Many thanks to Zone friend Scorpiosoft for the heads up!
"November 2, 2005 - This Service Pack removes the cloaking technology component that has been recently discussed in a number of articles published regarding the XCP Technology used on SONY BMG content protected CDs. This component is not malicious and does not compromise security. However to alleviate any concerns that users may have about the program posing potential security vulnerabilities, this update has been released to enable users to remove this component from their computers."
You can download an online update here. An offline version of this Service Pack is also available as a zip file (3.4MB) or as an exe (3.6MB).
We can all sleep a little easier now!
