I hate this stuff. People who pirate games don't get this kind of abuse.

Hope this is true because from what I've heard, Securerom functions in a highly insecure way. Apparently it's installed as a root kit that hides the main secure rom folder from the OS, preventing anyone from removing it. Makes sense, cept that it will hide any directory you want, so hackers can plop in malicious code, hide it with this copy protection scheme and laugh at your anti-virus(malware) software's attempts to save your system.
The last PC Game I bought with copy protection on it trashed my system. It installed a driver that got corrupted, causing all sorts of fun stuff to happen. #1 reason why I now game on an Wii60.
