How To Remove SecuROM

Heres how to remove suckass SecuROM from your PC.

Download and install Unlocker

Download TrashReg

Now go to C:\Documents and Settings\****\Application Data
Where C: is the Root Directory and **** is your documents.

Note: You will have to enable show hidden files and folders (tools/folder options/view/show hidden files and folders)to see the Application Data folder.

In the Application Data folder find and right click the SecuROM folder and select Unlocker,select delete in the drop down menu and press ok.

Next run TrashReg,select File and Find Keys with NULL embedded names and press ok.
Right click and delete the entries it finds(yes that caution! never delete crap)

Now go to start/run and type regedit.
Select Edit and Find and type SecuROM.
In the list of entries on the left you will see SecuROM,right click and delete it.

Thats it!
Maybe there is an easier way but this works for me.
Stupid SecuROM will reinstall itself again when you run protected games but if its causing you problems and you want to get rid of it this is how.

What does secuROM do?

I think it's a late reply but I'll reply

SecuROM is a CD/DVD copy protection product, most often used for computer games, developed by Sony DADC. SecuROM aims to resist home media duplication devices, professional duplicators, and reverse engineering attempts. The newest versions (v4 and up) prevent 1:1 CD-R copies from being made

well this goal may have been reached with prevention to duplication. But almost eveyone today uses no cd cracked .EXE anyways

I tried to find securom in Application Data, but it didn't appear anywhere in that folder (I had selected show hidden files).

I've got Sid Meiers Railways! which when mounted on Alcohol delivered the message:
A required security module cannot be activated.
This program cannot be executed (5014).

Any ideas?

SecuROM detects that you're using an emulator software and got something running up to remove secuROM security
