How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Ambular:
Apologies if this has already been covered (a quick scan of the thread suggests it has not,) but I installed BV and immediately replaced the .exe with the no-CD version before I ever started the game up, and while I did get an empty SecuROM directory and an !!OMG DO NOT DELETE!! registry key, as far as I can tell SecuROM was never properly activated on my system. No processes to cancel or files to delete and the game ran without a hitch even before I axed the stuff I did find. Perhaps this should be the recommended install procedure?
Zazazu:
It's definitely the recommended install procedure. If you never run it from the original .exe (which is what contains the poison) you can't get SecuRom. Will add notation. For your suggestion and Muridae's.
mildlydisguised:
I found that I didn't need to do the regdelnull steps after I had used TrashReg and CureSecuROM, although I didn't have any SecuROM entries under HKEY_USERS from the beginning. I also didn't have SecuROM in services.msc but then I installed from a pirate image as my proper disc had not yet arrived - not sure whether that makes a difference.
evilragdoll:
Is there a possibility for secuROM reinstalling itself if I decide to install the new BV patch?
J. M. Pescado:
Yes. The patch would replace or be incompatible with your new noCD, in all likelyhood, so it will no longer function.
