you don't - thats one of the reasons that people are so angry about it (well, I daresay its possible to remove it, but its difficult to the point of being easier to reinstall windows than to do so

really? I remember reading an article that tells you how to remove securom and all the files and the undeletable registries. But I'm not sure which version of securom that was for (although I did, or at least I think I removed the Bioshock securom with it). I know that someone posted it on tomshardware, but I can't find it now.

So is there really no way to remove securom? what makes it unremovable? is it the undeletable registries?

securom is the greatest piece of malware/rootkit/crap to date..im going to pay close attention to this thread if someone comes up with a solution to your problem (my problem, too).
