Uninstalling does not remove SecuROM. There is no "simple" method of removing it.
Uninstalling does not remove all traces of SecuROM and there is no simple way to do that.
Uninstalling appears to remove the active portion of SecuROM, which seems to be in Sims2EP6.exe.
However, what is left after uninstalling Sims 2 BV appears to be benign.
More than anything, SecuROM's reputation appears to exceed reality, at least with respect to how BV is using it. In a way, it is sort of disappointing.

Benign or not, it still has no valid reason to stay there. If it's not doing anything, then I want it off my comptuer. No matter how small, wasted space is never a good thing.

If you have the skill and means to remove it, yeah. If not, well, I wish you well in your quest to remove all things that don't belong there.
If you don't have Vista, you will want to remove the Vista specific stuff that EAxis is installing on your system, too. ;) It's not doing anything and has no valid reason to stay there.

Actually, I have already removed it. I was merely speaking on principle.

Stuff that appears benign can cause problems later. That's why my philosophy has been if I know something is still on the computer AND is unnecessary for anything I use, I get rid of it.
