Yesterday Symantec updated their signatures to detect the rootkit that Sony
used to hide their digital rights management (DRM) software, now officially
classified as "SecurityRisk.First4DRM"
For information about this go here:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/securityrisk.aries.html
If you have a Sony CD that contains this cloaking software that you have
installed on your computer you should get the update from Sony that removes
this rootkit type behaviour (thanks to the negative publicity) which is
available here:

If you want to read more about this software Mark Russinovich's blog is an
excellent read:
