Starforce DRM reboots your PC

REPORTS are claiming that DRM maker Starforce has released a copy protection system that reboots your PC if you do something it doesn’t like.

According to Futuremark the DRM installs a driver that gets the highest level of access to your PC system.

great -- I had already enough trouble trying to get FIA GTR to work (had to swap out Plextor 12x CD writer with another drive); this will only make things even less fun.

Yeah, I haven't bought any Splinter Cell or Ubisoft game since they decided on using Starforce. Sure I could crack it but its such a pain in the ***. Not even worth it.
