F-Secure 2010 and Copy Protection for Sacred 2

[chattius 2,527]

We upgraded to F-Secure 2010 at weekend and noticed that sacred2 was no longer starting up. I supposed that it would perhaps be some heuristic scans and unloaded f-secure from its unload button. Sacred2 was working again, so I stopped my daughter to do a new install on her machine. After a failed searched for Sacred2 yesterday at F-Secure today I searched for SecuRom in their knowledge base and found this:

We play already the AddOn. If this affects activating or revoking too isn't written. So this post is mainly to prevent days of frustration when Sacred2 is no longer running. Heuristic virus scans have trouble with SecuRom. As have some tools from wininternals.
