Viruses Use Sony Anti-piracy CDs

Virus writers are exploiting Sony's controversial anti-piracy software to hide their malicious creations.

Now three virus variants have been found that use the Sony software to evade detection by anti-virus programs.

Sony has apologised, saying it is working with computer security firms to address the problems.
