How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Milhouse Trixibelle Saltfucker III:
Running the BV .exe will just reinstall SecuROM. And it's always a good idea to have an antivirus program and scan your cracks for viruses before running them. And I'm a little intrigued by your statement that it is "completely illegal" - do they have levels of illegality now? - but that's another subject entirely.
Besides, installing a rootkit onto your computer without your consent is illegal, too. Fight fire with fire, eh?
jolrei:
It is not "completely illegal" to play a legitimately purchased copy of the game with a no-cd crack. You have the disks and the license to use. All the no-cd does is make it so that you don't have to insert your disks when you play, thus saving them from wear and tear. It also does not stick you with securom, which has nothing to do with your legitimate license rights to use the software, but is likely an illegal intrusion on your privacy.

A bit illegal - speeding
Mostly illegal - robbery
Pretty much illegal - murder
Completely illegal - playing the sims with a no-cd exe.

Yeah, I realize that the "completely illegal" sounds dumb - I'm nitpicking, but I don't consider downloading a song or an old video game (one that isn't being sold commercially anymore) to be as bad as downloading the Sims 2.
I'll probably get the no-CD crack, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it doesn't screw up my computer...

Many of us here have been playing with no-cd exes for a long time; so long as you get it from a reliable source (i.e., gamecopyworld), it's highly unlikely it'll do anything to your computer. In fact, you have better odds of SecuROM screwing up your computer than any no-cd exe that keeps it from being installed in the first place.
