The program is called a rootkit and it imbeds itself down in to your system registry. After a certain set of circumstances of which I am not familiar, the disc cannot be used on a computer without hearing this obnoxious clicking (sounds exactly like a scratched disc), which is the copy protection kicking in.Sony/BMI has issued a "rootkit de-installer" as part of the settlement of lawsuits for coming up with this wacky scheme in the first place.
Supposedly all you have to do if you want to remove the rootkit is to run this program (see the link in my first post) which removes it, and thereafter hold down the shift when you are loading the disc so that the autorun program that installs this POS rootkit program on your computer will be bypassed long enough for you to do whatever it is that you need to do.
That's the problem. It says I don't have the rootkit installed, and therefore there is nothing to remove, but I still can't play the disc without the clicking noise.
