Question
How can I uninstall SecuROM components from my PC, after I installed GTA IV PC?
Answer
A normal uninstall of GTAIV will remove SecuROM related files (other than DRM license information, as explained below). You may also remove SecuROM related files by following the instructions below. Before you start the un-installation, close all programs running in the background. The link below contains a tool that removes SecuROM:

Please follow these steps:
-
Download the ZIP file
-
Extract the application into a temporary folder
-
Launch the application and follow the instructions
-
A dialog box will appear; To start the SecuROM un-installation, press the <Yes> button.
** Note that you need administrator rights to run this un-installation utility.
Please note that this un-installation process will not remove the SecuROM™ DRM license information. Removing the license information may result in a lost activation, or may prevent other SecuROM protected software on your PC from working. This uninstall process allows you to remove SecuROM-related files without losing a purchased software activation.
Also note that some or all SecuROM files and registry keys may be re-created in their respective locations upon each launch of a SecuROM protected application.
