Even Worse
The SunnComm DRM inatals itself prior to presenting the EULA to the User and installs even if you click "I Do Not Agree". The only thing it does after you click "I Agree" is set the driver to start up every time you start Windows.

The SunnComm software also calls home, even though they deny it in the EULA and on their home page, and even worse yet they knew about this before today. This has been disclosed for about 1 1/2 weeks... the only new part is that the uninstaller leaves all kind of scriptable methods behind after the uninstall (All of which can be used to reboot a windows machine and other mischeif).
