This is how to remove SecuRom on a mac running Mac OSX leopard (10.5.5 {or higher?}), commonly found on PCs. SecuRom's own website has a removal tool for PC.

http://www.securom.com/support/SecuROM_Uninstaller.zip


How to do it:
-open up finder
-go to your user name
-go to library
-go to "Preferences" NOT "PreferencePanes"

-Go to "[your game here] Preferences"
-go to "p_drive"
-go to "user"
-go to "Application Data"
- There it is, either delete this and reinstall the game, or delete the entire "[your game here] Preferences"
-Return or Reinstall the game you purchased

Again:
Finder// [your user name]// library// Preferences// [your game here] Preferences// p_drive// user// Application data

  • men i erase the folders the way you say, but the keep coming back every time i start the game..i erase again and surprise, here they came again..any ideas why? do i make something wrong?

  • @angriphist Does the game still run? This guide is for people who want to remove it after getting rid of the game. I can try again sometime later, but I got a new mac that I have not installed Spore on yet and I don't want to screw around with my working copy. If the game still runs, there may be something inside of the application itself. I have not tried, and do not suggest attempting, but you can view the files in the app by right clicking on the icon and then clicking "show package contents"

  • any help

    I downloaded crysis warhead for WINDOWS illegally but this sucurom keeps coming up how do you destroy this thing

  • SecuROM even infects Mac?

  • That was in response to the now removed isoplease com post which i accidentally removed. This is what it said:

    I got a websie if you want this for free. Just go to ISOPlease[.]com ( Remove the [ ] ) Not a bad program at all..

  • Your website is just an over-complicated, self-profiting search tool that only sends visitors to torrentz. com after they fill out the **FREE BEST BUY GIFT CARD** surveys. - I'm sorry, did I let your secret out :(

    Also, your website gives "this" free. What is "this"? Are you referring to Spore, or a securom removal tool?

    Your site is one of the many sites out there that causes these companies to include DRM's in their software.

  • well now it is :)

  • my internet is acting up, so i don't know if i successfully replied already, but the link is in the description

  • i would not know for vista - i sold my copy

  • where can i get removal tool on secu rom website .... where i go to
