The biggest gripe with Starforce right now is that it destroys any security set-up you may have on your computer. Every single command ring 3 or lower becomes ring 0, which has absolute read/write access. You browsing the net right now, that's within the rings 0-3. Someone sending you a trojan in an email? That's there too. See what happens?
Secondly, it is known to cause hardware failures, especially in the following: external drives, SCSI drives, Plextor writers, firewire and USB HDDs, sound cards(not embedded). It has specific read-down instructions which will in time kill your optical drive. It doesn't go away. Several people reported Starforce transmitting information through the internet every time you execute a protected piece of software, and it does so unhampered by firewalls since it is in ring 0, and makes the firewall allow it. Basically, it's a nuke.
