EA Download Manager, the spy,   The most recent version of EA Download Manager you can download here, you need the EADM for updating the game, BUT..... The Download Manager is a spy for EA. It will search your pc for illegal games and you will get a message like "we couldn't determine if your game is legal", and you just can't play anymore. Most times Download Manager will start up when you boot up your pc and it can start looking for information. Just don't give it a change and turn it off. Press Windowskey and type R Type msconfig and press Ok Go to the tab Startup and deselect EA Core Press Apply and Ok and restart your pc. (Sorry only have dutch picture)
