That is the problem. You can't 'kill' it. It is not visible from the OS at all. It modifies the OS kernel. Do you understand what that means!? It patches the functions of the base functionality of the operating system (without your consent and without forewarning). The only way to remove such nastiness is with something like RootkitRevealer (spyware and antivirus software cannot detect this). There is one preventative measure if you have Sony Audio CDs with this infectious nonsense - turn off AutoPlay for CDs (which is how it gets installed). This is a good idea in every case, anyway. Never use AutoPlay EVER!

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
