BEWARE: SONY sells CD's w/virus enabled software

As soon as I read this I thought of Bou and the myriads of unsuspecting music lovers, like Mr. Helpful, who will be affected by spyware embedded in Sony's new music CD's which is invisible to anti-virus protection programs. So far thousands of PC's have been affected and infected worldwide.

Teresa has been a blogging maniac on this. It's scary. Really scary. But, so far I'm OK, because the music I'm downloading is so... old. LOL!

I looked at that list anyway, however. Scary stuff. Really.

I'm ok too, cause I just tossed aside most of my sony cd's and vow not to buy any more from them! Glad to hear you are in a little less pain. You've been missed!
