Look Up
upon reading this:
50% of people will have scrolled up
25% will have looked at their ceiling
The last 25% can now feel smug because everyone else has taken orders from a little sig box.

If I understood the websites correctly, aparently spore(even the demo!) instals SecuROM, a rootkit-trojan-copy protection program apparently made by sony. Who was taken to court for something like it in the past.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SecuROM
"This has been called malware, and users must use 3rd party tools to remove 'protection' after uninstall of product"
"and Spore Creature Editor"
"It installs a shell extension that prevents Windows Explorer from deleting 16-bit executables"
And, from the discussion page, the final proof.

It is a rootkit by definition.You seem to be repeating SecuROMs line which has been refuted by many security professionals. Lets look at the definition in connection with the facts.
"Rootkit: (N), A type of Trojan that keeps itself, other files, registry keys and network connections hidden from detection." The null registry keys, hidden network traffic, and malformed files that can not be removed by windows all fit this part of its description.
"It enables an attacker to have "root" access to the computer, which means it runs at the lowest level of the machine." Securom runs at ring0 and effectively has kernel level access rights to the OS. This is how it blocks hardware or software. Although it is true that it also has ring3 processes the root of the application is on ring0.
Lets not forget that SONY, who is responsible for SecuROM also lied about their previous DRM by saying it was not a rootkit and were found incorrect in court. Their statements and those of secuROM should be considered highly suspect. --Cuberhobo (talk) 16:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuberhobo
bah, by telling this stuff about what seems to be a virus by your description, your ruining our fun. your post also looks like (to me) a conspiracy theory, like the one were apparently Canada (may it be a whole country forever), the U.S., and Mexico are going to become one single country called the American union. FAT CHANCE! And if it does, the definition of union isn't "country", it's "group of countries that try to make similar decisions even though their governments are separate". people who make up conspiracy theories are quite strange, sometimes. I hope that your not, too.
My computer doesn't seem to have a virus, as it's running same as always. it just won't run the demo because it's not new enough. OK?

He's not talking to you, flabort. He's complaining about SecuROM, which is retarded.flabort wrote:bah, by telling this stuff about what seems to be a virus by your description, your ruining our fun. your post also looks like (to me) a conspiracy theory, like the one were apparently Canada (may it be a whole country forever), the U.S., and Mexico are going to become one single country called the American union.
