How to check for Sony "Root kit"

I have been hearing some bad stuff about the poor protection that Sony has put on some of their CD's to protect from music pirates. The latest is that if you just play the CD on your computer, it will put this "Root kit" on your computer Sony will not be getting any more money from me, as they did this without any thoughts to their customers. I need to know of a good program to check my computer to see if it is on it. My wife like too listen to her CD's while she is on the computer. SONY SUCK's , Tony
