Sony-BMG, Symantec, who's next?

Sony-BMG hit the tech news in November 2005 because of the rootkit technology that they employed in order to curb piracy. [story »]

Then here comes Symantec caught using rootkit technology. [story »] [story »]

Makes me now think that I need to reevaluate the companies that I trust in order to keep my machines secured.

Oh well, good thing I never had the chance to play any of Sony-BMG's "infected" CDs in my machine. And good thing, too, that both my machines don't have Symantec's products.

Perhaps I am just lucky!
