It can severely interfere with using your computer, including causing restarts or disabling your CD/DVD drive. It has problems with other legal software like CD/DVD burners.

Required for some CD-ROM based games released by Sony and other developers. The cleanest way to disable it is to change the services setting (Run services.msc) for this program. Change the setting for 'SecuROM User Access Services (v7)' from automatically starting to the 'manual' start setting (Right click Properties Startup Type Manual). This way your games or other programs will start this service only when you start the program...otherwise it'll stay off and shouldn't restart every time you start Windows.

Securom is a copy right protection created by Sony DAC, it is used by gaming companies. like EA games . In order to get rid of securom, you must go into the regisrty, and remove the key. The uaservice7.exe file can be found in system32 on your comp. Securom has been known to disable some cd burners, and mess around with your antivirus. Some people may not have the uaservice folder if they have a user account on their comp. If you are not able to go into the registry you can reformat your comp to remove securom. However, you will not be able to play your game once securom is removed.
