'Securom isn't bad' according to Maxis
BigD145:
This isn't the best advice, but it takes care of pretty much all rootkits: run XP64 bit. Rootkits don't install or don't run properly under 64 bit. I have had many games that have problems or refuse to play under this OS, but I have so many more that do work and I don't get the rootkits. EA is utterly wrong when they talk about the disk protections out there, but I find ways to get around it. I shouldn't have to find workarounds, but I also have little choice in the matter.

What are the affects of this "securom". Are they very much noticeable? How would i know i have it?

Hmm, I don't think I got SecuRom with my game. I have all expansions and stuff packs. Their all installed. I tried to chech my system for Securom, and it wasn't there. Not in the services like they said to delete. No securom folder, no nothing. Do I still have it? I want to make a copy of my game. I bought it, I have a right to. When I said all expansions, I meant Free Time too. I got it as a gift. But since people are having these problems, wouldn't this cause more piracy on their damn games? Pirates remove the protection
Pirated FreeTime = Free game + No Securom
Store-bought FreeTime = -$30 + Securom
Which seems better to you?

This means you have a legit copy and access to sites like this, pirated stuff isn't allowed around here as per rules.

EA shouldn't be doing this to people then. More people would buy it if there were no worries about getting their computers crashed.
