Securom string found in Process Explorer dump of TheSims3.exe
wes_h:
We know that SecuRom is used in the downloadable version of the program, EA told us so. It is likely that all or most of of the code needed to do perform such a feat is in the executable, it would be unlike any software developer to have multiple versions of a program source, but rather they would do two compilations on the same source with a changed preprocessor variable.
I see no evidence that anything other than a disk check is being done on the retail package. No phone homes, except the expected launcher connections, using an external firewall log to verify that. So far, in memory editing of the program has not been disabled, and the best mods to date depend on subverting a windows function call by using an imposter .dll file.
So while the code is in there (Ragu?), I don't see any evidence that it is actually being called by any functions.

Does Securom on the download version or The disk DRM has any direct hardware access?
Does Direct Hardware Access means RING0 communication?

A question; Why are you so obsessed with the SucUrom issue now? That show is not playing currently on the "Horror". You have been told by the best that the disc version of Sims 3 contains an inept version of the so called DRM. Did you have so much fun at the last SucUrom Fight that you want to start another one?
It is time to move onto other issues contained in this not ready for "Prime Time" game.

Now lets not get into name calling. I know from reading the thread you started and from other sources that SecUrom is on the downloaded version as well as having been on the pre released versions in various forms or another. What are you going to do about SucUrom, no matter where it is? You either take steps to avoid it such as a no CD crack, or you live with it. In the Sims 2, I took steps to avoid it. In the Sims 3 the research indicated that it was a non issue. Pescado himself has said it, what more do you want?
