Evil malware in RING3 doesn´t fall in the same category as a possible low-level operation, RING0 malware.
The first one is an annoying bug, the second is a deadly compromising software. The distinction must be done.

Yes, but how does stating the obvious change anything?

I want indicators to the Average Joe users that can be understood by bureaucrat CEO´s. I know a few men on the industry, but they want reliable data. If you give me indicators of Kernel code use/low-level operations of Securom I will appreciate it.
I found some interesting string dumping Securom executables strings on latest versions.

A .sys file would be some kind of indicator of low level operation, just as the Aries.sys in XCP

Or, more likely, it's the stripped detritus of something no longer in service that was left behind. There's tons of rubbish like this in the game.
