Starforce persistent registry key

Starforce copy protection installs a persistent registry key:

HKCU\Software\SecuROM\!CAUTION! NEVER DELETE OR CHANGE ANY KEY@

Neither IceSword nor Gmer is able to remove this key. Any idea how to remove?

PS: If you try to regain the rights about this key you see a panel with the words:
Security settings can´t be displayed.

 

try this: http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55
if it doesnt work, try in SafeMode

Thanks for info, interesting to know the story, I managed to uninstall everything except this persistent registry key.

In my opinion Starforce is riskware or at least grayware, they can tell what they want. I don´t see any sense in a creation of such a persistent key.

 

Hello,
Live CD ...

Edit..

Never mind, I see you already tried adjusting permissions in an attempt to delete it.

 

Exactly! That seems to be the only way, maybe I´ll give a try in safe mode.

Probably we should ask Mark Russinovich for help.

But RegDelNull doesn´t find anything. Too bad.
