Spore/SecuROM rootkit

[AM088]

Some months ago, I installed the Spore Creature Creator and was totally unaware that like it came with the SecuROM rootkit.

(Oops... somehow posted it by accident before finishing...)

So since I do not intend to use Spore or the Creature Creator, I'd like to get rid of the SecuROM. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Here's some info (http://www.gamepolitics.com/2008/11/08/new-class-action-suits-target-ea-securom-sims-amp-spore-creature-creator)

Thanks!
