Yes. SecuROM drivers and No-CD patches are frequently flagged as "RiskTool" or "HackTool." You must add exclusions. This is a false positive caused by the invasive nature of DRM.

Before fixing the error, you need to understand the enemy. SecuROM was a popular DRM in the mid-2000s to early 2010s. It worked by embedding itself deep into your system’s kernel to verify disc authenticity. The problem? Microsoft changed the security landscape drastically with Windows 8, 10, and 11.

If the error persists, SecuROM’s driver might still be active and blocked by Windows.

: Older games like 2K14 often struggle with the architecture of Windows 10 or 11. Right-click the nba2k14.exe file in your game directory. Go to Properties > Compatibility tab.

This lowers system security. Only use this to test if SecuROM is the issue. Reboot normally once done.
