Had another false positive in regards to this and Its apparently related to this line of code.

if (pex.OverlayStrings != null)
            {
                if (pex.OverlayStrings.Any(s => s == "AddD"))
                    return $"SecuROM {GetV4Version(pex)}";
            }

What's happening is that BOS reports discs as having SecuROM as long as the condition is fulfilled. Even if "AddD" is there for other reasons.

New development to this.

Latest Rolling BoS reports "SecuROM (very old, v3 or less)" for http://redump.org/disc/127238/ and nothing more. But this is a legit SecuROM 4.85.04 game as reported by PiD and supported by the fact that the disc also has SecuROM DPM info.

Does not seem to have been fixed.

http://redump.org/disc/127924/ Reported a "SecuROM (very old, v3 or less), " false positive as well.

@PurpleNekoNova and @Morlit55, stricter parsing should alleviate this: 19e696bf15
