"In response to criticism, Sony BMG said it would provide tools to users 
and security firms that would reveal the hidden files."

The "tools" might reveal these files, but apparently the crap ties 
itself so tightly into Winders that it's practically impossible to 
remove.  Also, like any really effective malware, the regular 
"anti-virus" scanners can't find this stuff.....
