* Blanchard Michael:

 so does their patch remove the crap for those unfortunately enough to put
the CD in their computers?  Or is Sony simply leaving those people hanging
out in the breeze with the Sony Root Kit installed forever...

Uhm, as far as I understand the situation, the affected CDs are still
on the shelves.  IOW, Sony doesn't even prevent new infections, so
it's unlikely they care *that* much about old ones.
