SlipperyJim 0 Posted August 25, 2007 Please do not start a flamewar but I feel I have a right to ask this question. There has been a lot of concern lately about the new game Bioshock and how a rootkit is installed by Securom (owned by Sony). I did a scan with "Rootkit Revealer" and it reported I had a Securom rootkit on my system but I never installed Bioshock or its demo. There are only two possible culprits that installed this rootkit on my system. R6: Vegas or Armed Assault. I would REALLY love to hear from BIS that no rootkit was installed with Arma and its patches. That means NO hidden files and NO hidden registry entries. Disclaimer: I love Arma and I am not trying to stir up trouble. However I have a right to ask what was installed on my system and the right to let software companies know that I do not want rootkits on my computer!

baddo 0 Posted August 25, 2007 Yes you have a right to ask, but consider this too, what harm does the possible rootkit do for you? That's a key question I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franze 196 Posted August 25, 2007 Given the rules on this subject, this thread must be locked. The biki, this page lists the copy protection currently being used in ArmA. Depending on which version you have, there's either Securom, Softwrap, or Starforce. You can attempt to draw a conclusion from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
