How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW

I followed all the steps at the beginning of the thread, but I'm stuck on this one:
Step 4: Removal of Securom files under "C:\Documents and Settings". I've unhidden hidden files, and I've unchecked 'Hide protected operating system files', but I still can't see a Securom folder. I've successfully completed the preceding steps. Does that mean that Securom is gone, or have I just not been able to find it?
I don't even know how to get to my hidden files, so "c:\Documents and Settings" says access denied.
ElfPuddle:
Am I correct in reading that you're playing with the newest FreeTime patch? Unless you have the no-cd crack for it, that just might be your issue.
Tchan:
I've followed the instructions as well and it can't find a thing. I know I have SecuROM because I've got FT (even though I haven't installed either patch) and I've noticed it killing my programmes one-by-one (starting with Norton Antivirus, which is now dead as a doornail, and Nero is surely the next to go), but there's not a sign of it on the computer. I ran through cmd and it can't find any null keys at all, nor can I find a \Securom folder in Application Data (or, indeed, anywhere). This is really taxing! Any ideas?
morriganrant:
To those not finding a trace of it, did you install FT while on the Admin account or on a secondary account? Aren't the files on the non-admin accounts labeled differently? It's somewhere within the first few pages of this thread. Can't look right now.
As for emulation software detected, that is a securom problem. If you installed the second patch, well good luck with that. You need an updated no-cd for it and we don't have one yet. Sim city societies gave me the same hell with the third patch. I had to uninstall then remove securom ...again. If that is just with installing FT and maybe the first patch, then you need to put in the no-cd and then remove securom from your pc.
Tchan:
Admin account, I believe. It's the main one.
I went searching for the SecuROM folder in all my accounts. No cigar yet.
