'Securom isn't bad' according to Maxis

Maxis has again posted a message in the Sims BBS and now about SecuROM. Not surprisingly, just as the Tourguide bug, they completely deny the problems people are having with it. Oh and to make things worse, they also say that the Bon Voyage patch is delayed til somewhere later this month.
Read the message here:

If I was Will Wright I would grab a shotgun and * boom * down every guy who worked on BV.
I mean what the hell is Maxis thinking? Didn't they get enough with the pets bugs? I mean they sell us a game which includes a software which affects your computer!
And what's up with the bugs? Don't they have enough time to test stuff?

they don't seem to test anything or maybe they need testers that actually play the game. as it is now, it feels like we pay them to beta test their game.

There are lots people who can be beta testers! And the money we spend on the game is more than enough to pay them and have some profit too

FWIW, 207.net is blocked by AdBlock Plus.
Also, I have been trying to get SecuRom off my freaking computer for weeks now. Anyone know of a current removal tool?

It's very hard to remove a rootkit since the files are hidden deeply and even if you delete them much won't change.

What the blaze is SecuRom and what does it do to your PC? I got BV installed and I'm wondering if it's affecting it in any way

This post tells you what it is:
What is SecuRom?
. It also gives instructions on how to uninstall it.

I have read many threads and posts on this issue and see that SecuRom is definitely a problem. I did a search on my computer and see a folder for it, but it is empty. I remembered when I first installed BV, I had alot of adware and spyware files come up on my Norton's virus scan, also 2 viruses, but Norton caught them and deleted it from my computer. I had to run the virus scan every 3 to 4 days just to check for further invasions, only had 2 lately.
This is sad for me, because in spite of all the bugs and problems with BV, I still like the game and hope that I don't have to uninstall my sims2 and reformat my hard drive. EA have an enormous problem with the less fortunate ones who have CD writing failures and hard drives freezing up. I hope they have a remedy for this problem and be able to get their good name back. Just a hope.

FOUND ON BBS -
Legality Issues
The link below contains a tool which removes SecuROM except it's digital rights management data:
http://www.securom.com/support/SecuROM_Uninstaller.zip
Please download it, extract the application file and follow the instructions below:
- The easiest way of using this tool is to copy the SecuROM_Uninstaller.exe file into your C:\ directory.
- Open the Windows command box by pressing and selecting the option. Now type 'cmd' (without 's) and press on the keyboard.
- Type: 'cd\' (without 's) and press on the keyboard.
- Please type now: SecuROM_Uninstaller.exe /uninstal
- A dialog box will appear. To start the SecuROM uninstallation, press the button.
Please understand that any application that uses SecuROM will rebuild these files and folders with future launches.
Best regards,
SecuROM Support Team

You didn't read that thread properly - right after that email you quoted comes this:
Quote
Don't bother wasting your time, this did NOT work. But right there in that email, they admit Securom is "digital right management data" Interesting.
Check out this link I found on the same thread:

Not sure if this was posted yet or not, but I just saw this at snootysims about SecuROM.
The Sims2.com has updated with a much needed response to the SecuROM issue. They opened a separate BBS section and also MaxoidViolet wrote a large blog update on the issue.
Check it here:

Just for the record, Will Wright is in no manner whatsoever affiliated with the managerial operations of Electronic Arts or its former sub-division Maxis. He sold Maxis to EA in 1997, and went to work as an independent software developer with a "strong relationship" with EA.
for the full scoop of poop on how EA lied to you for the past 10 years read this:
