Securom-- How to get rid of it?

[CW3SF]

After fighting the battle with securom and loosing the fight to install IL 2 1946 I do not trust the "uninstall" program from them. That buch of crooks would most likley leave some "stuff" on my drive.

 

I would love some advice as to how to get rid of all of it.

 

Thanks Guys CW3SF

Are you trying to install on Windows 7?..If so, you'll have problems,,,Securom doesn't like W7 or vice Versa

Securom puts hidden files on your PC...it can be a pain to find them, and you can only remove them in safe mode.

 

Also, if you are installing the game on W7 64bit..DO NOT use 'setup exe'...browse to the contents of the DVD..and run the file simply called 'a'

 

Also, DO NOT allow it to install to the default directory ie: C:\program files(86)...just install to C:\

 

Dunno if any of this is relevant to you...it's the one time I would recommend the dreaded 'Crack' option

Use the Securom Removal Tool in Tranquillo's post. It's safe and won't leave any remnants on your hd. The "Tool" is the result of many complaints and a class action against Securom DRM.

Best to use a version of IL-2 1946 that does not have securerom.

Well I expunged Securom from my system. Went through each and every file to search for all of it's bread crumbs and destroyed the lot.

It was too cool and windy here in AZ to hike or golf so that's my work for today.

 

Thanks guys --- you folks here are dependable and accurate. Some time some where this bunch has to get togather for grand feast.

Should that ever happen I,ll buy the first KEG!!
