The dirty (technical) details:

From slashdot.org:
SysInternals.com guru Mark Russinovich has a detailed investigation of
a rootkit from Sony Music. It's installed with a DRM-encumbered music
CD, Van Zant's "Get Right with the Man". (Mmmm, delicious irony!) The
rootkit introduces several security holes into the system that could
be exploited by others, such as hiding any executable file that starts
with '$sys$'. Russinovich also identifies several programming bugs in
the method it uses to hook system calls, and chronicles the painful
steps he had to take to 'exorcise the daemon' from his system.
