Starforce Enforces Copy Protection by Reboot - tech

Futuremark has reportedly discovered a new anti-piracy system that is being used by Starforce. This copy protection system installs a driver that runs at the highest level of access on the system, which gives it low level access to the PCs hardware and any drivers and processes. This driver runs regardless of whether the game runs; keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity such as attempting to copy a protected disc. If something suspicious is detected, it forces the PC to make an immediate reboot, regardless of any other applications running and whether or not the user has any unsaved work.

Here is a listing of StarForce protected games that is frequently updated from the Boycott StarForce website. The best thing is to boycott these products until it is safe to use them again.

post on their forums ways to crack their games, just like they did with Stardock. I still can't believe in it.
