kariminger, I also had that problem. It forced me to re-install my anti-virus and then re-activate it. I think it secretes itself so deep into the guts of your computer nothing will dig it out.
Yes it came with H&M but by the BBS you'd think that H&M is safe. It isn't. Thanks to that I now have a dvd drive that only works when secuROM allows it too and this time bomb ticking away in my registry.
And to top it off it will only play the sims occasionally after about ten minutes of trying to get it too start by then I'm too tired of the fight to care. :evil:
