Err...what? Why on earth would you waste time and space backing up Windows
or your applications, both of which can be easily reinstalled? Anything that
traps system calls (as SecuROM does) may or may not work with system resore.
Just as you can't use system restore to remove most spyware/worms - which,
let's face it, is essentially what SecuROM is.
