and they also released a tool to remove the program, however leaving in some drm software....
The name "Rootkit" is a generic term .. its basically a system that allows something to bypass an operating systems inbuilt security/protection systems. The name harsk back to unix systems where it was more a tool to allow a "user" to operate something as "root" (admin), when they wern't supposed to. Same applies to windows, in a looser sense. From the name "hack.tool.root.kit" it doesn't actually sound like a virus. A lot of virus scanners flag "hack tools" and similar things as viruses, simply because they are bad. that sounds more like its flaggd a suspect tool thats known to be used for bad things .. check the website of your virus scanner, most have a searcable database with more information on eveyrthing they flag..
^^^ Thats what your dealing with :)
