The Inquirer: Although Sony killed off its controversial CD DRM root kit system, investigators have discovered that it could have caused more problems than anyone first thought.

A glitch in the XCP DRM technology meant that anti-spyware features in AOL's Safety and Security Centre software and PestPatrol software could have tried to disable the CD-ROM's configuration.

The bug has been found by Texas attorney general's office who have been testing the XCP copy-protection technology as part of the state's lawsuit against Sony.
