securom = usless, no matter what it was designed to do....

i like how you say ive lost my nerve...im actually sat laughing at you tbh,
your points are silly.

and tbh what ever your the one still on here hating SecuROM and not facing the fact that if you want spore your gunna have to shut up and deal with it.

and lol how have i lost my nerve ive been joking alot in between waiting for your next statement and on top lol insults admit defeat lol where the hell you get that from.

basically to the origonal question despite how many people swoop down to cry over how bad mr SecuROM is. Its designed and there as a prevention to attempt to stop hacks and illegal copies.

End of story really but you can write the next book on it if you like

Exactly. That's what the designers set out to do... And failed, spectacularly. Just like the previous 387 times they have tried. There are cracked versions of Spore out there right now, and the game hasn't even been officially released yet. Way to go, SecuROM!

I so agree with you. They only want to make profit and doesn't care about the buyers

And Gorai, do you really want to get a warning from the Mods? Or els I suggest you take a chill pill

Isn't everyone on the internet an idiot?

Even me...

[Naenia]

my points silly...you seem to belive securom is this all portecting magic stealy thing..it isnt..thats an intention that does not work..get that in your head...you dont even know the word of prevention

and sure spore will have it but what about future games planning to have it? we dont want them to

it has a 3 activation limit this particular version does, now many people are unhappy with this as it means they will use them up quickly...watse a lot of money calling ea and at the end they could refuse to reactivate it...so you can risk making a game redundant even though you paid for it all cus ea are using this kind of program. it installs without your knowlege..we only know cus we found out..noone told us. so if a program good or bad wants on my machine..i better bloody know about it regardless

lol true. i agree i really do. secuROM does suck but as i was trying to say earlier. and please please please read this comparisent right.

a car has a alarm and lock. they can be broken but they are there to attempt tp stop it. same as secuROM. they both fail obviously cars get nicked. i think tbh people rushed through my post and some what thought i said secuROM does Prevent them getting hacked rather than An attempt

read correcty and please dont skim read and i would also like to see where i apparently praised secuROM and said it was good according to your self as a undefinite quote.

[Treesap]

Who cares which word in the english dictionary we have to use to describe what it does. It isn't going the be very effective and their older protection systems were less intrusive. Go back to your old ways EA.

[Naenia]

thats not telling me...i do read through..youve never said it attempts to prevent youve always said it does prevent and makes it hard for crackers and hackers...no it doesnt

i never said you praised it either...all i said was you think its some uncrackable things of which you have been saying

lol agreed

[flixern]

Or find better prevention system that doesn't contain malware and rootkit lol

i have NEVER said its some uncrackable thing! you obviously dont read! thats where the comparesent to a failing lock and alarm comes in with a car. please shut up! you are actually starting to drive me insane with your ignorence to what people say.

you have 100% mis-interperated my comparassment and got touchy over it.

lalala the main point is i dont like SecuROM either! deal with it with people who agree, all your trying to do is say im agreeing with SecuROM and my english is bad. english may be. my god some people let it go

[Treesap]

The stuid part is the malware and rootkit part of securom doesn't actually help spore anti-theft because spore requires no CD to play. The only part that is needed is the online authecentation (we should be changed so it isn't like renting unless you call ea), and that can be included in the game and not intrude on other aspects of yuor computer.

im personally wondering what will EA do if secuROM does go its normal ways. will they make a new version with out it?

[Naenia]

ok you dont like securom...but at the start you came off as if you wasnt exactly against it then you didnt say specifically that it doesnt work, you never said that it can be cracked...not at the beginning...you said it even makes it hard for others to crack...but it doesnt do that either....

maybe you didnt type exactly what you thought you did then because from whoever reads what you say it seems like you think securom works...

[Treesap]

if they do make a version without it i hope it comes in the form of a patch we can all have and a tool to kill securom off your PC

at first i cam across as not exaclty against it lol. my first post was about a 5 word line. lol seriously mate this is a classic example of some one taking things the wrong way. you should seriously chill and relax over things. lol
its not the end of the world even if someone does come on loving secuROM

and my comparisen with the car was me saying it can be cracked. and its not 100% successful and only a attampted prevention. you just didnt read it correctly

[Naenia]

However SecuRom installs features which gives it root access to your computer I beleive which stop you from deleting it as they have more permissions that an admin.

So a tool that EA provides would make it easier, especiaal for the non-techi folk.

manual uninstall will not remove certain registry file's. Thanks to this forum I googled " Remove Securom " and followed a link to 3Dguru and got a tool to remove it.
