In late October Sony was found to be using stealth techniques to hide software that stopped some of its CDs being illegally copied.

 

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.
