Lavasoft, the company that makes the fine Ad-Aware spware/adware remover, has
made a program to remove the vile Sony rootkit:

Since it’s a beta and does such low-level stuff, and I’m pretty sure I don’t have the rootkit, I’m not going to risk running it yet. Once it’s out of beta, I’ll run it to make sure I didn’t somehow get rootkit.
If you think you have the rootkit, it might be worth taking a risk on this beta.
