Thanks for the heads-up. I've been skimming through the
articles and related links to see if there is any mention
of the Sony rootkit's installation process needing
'Autoplay' enabled to get started. I don't have a Sony
'malware' CD with which to experiment. Anyone have
any experience with this?

you don't need autoplay enabled, you could go and execute the installer
by hand if you wanted...
