How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Kazzandra:
Securom is well known malware now. I wouldn't be surprised if some programs have defined it as such.

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.
I only have one account It's the admin account.

Are you all using the original .exe? If not, a malware/spyware program might have rooted them out for you-- that's all I can think. Bizarre ???
I used the original .exe and had the new patch installed, and I still couldn't find any traces of securom anywhere. I know I have it I have all eps and sps installed and the latest patch installed . . .er did I took them all off . But I couldn't find any traces of Securom. I have followed every direction for locating it, but I doesn't show up anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've just reformated my machine and I'm still searching for an anti-virus that suits. I thought I'd found it with Clamwin, because it only comes when called, but as it totally failed to update itself successfully in a fortnight, I've gone looking for others. I'm currently trying Bitdefender and AntiVir. Both of these tools enable me to search for rootkits, which is new to me in an antivirus program. I don't know whether they would work on SecROM, but both of them thought I was rootkit free.

If you play the game with your modem disconnected, and if you load onto an adminstrator account, you will likely not get a securom folder on your drive. If you do not have the securom keys in the registry, you may have followed the steps for removal correctly and they may simply be gone. If you can't find it, it may not be there. Load from a no-cd crack in any case to avoid getting it back. Has the added benefit of not wearing out your disks.
