So I did a search of my entire C drive for securom: NOTHING! However it is in the registry. Can I delete the registry keys?
It is not unheard of that securom will install in registry, but not on the drive. You do want to get rid of the securom registry keys.

Apart from that: you don't know OSX, Mootilda, do you?
No, I'm sorry. I don't know much about MACs.

Well, Mac OS X = Unix, and as far as I can tell (not a sysadmin myself) rootkits don't show up in activity monitor, (or with top command, if you want to use command line stuff à la Pes).
I have no doubt that a skilled sysadmin would know how to detect bad things at work in its system, but alas, I'm definitely too far from having those skills :/.

One notable difference between Spore and Pets is that Transgaming declared publicly that they would be using Securom on all their Cider-wrapped games for EA. There's no question that Spore exposes macs to suckrom, whether you can find the processes for it or not. The only debate is about how harmful it might be, but I've seen exactly one post by the same guy linked a dozen times, and no one else. ???
Aspyr anyway has never said they use suckrom on TS2 or any EPs. They do put it on some games, and have said so. It's hard to believe that they would only be coy about TS2. I'm inclined to think that the .plist entries for Pets EP is just leftover junk from the port. At the time Pets was released for OS X, Seasons had yet to be released for PC, and EA itself did not add suckrom until BV.
I'm still going to edit my .plist though. :D
