. . . .StarForce Professional 3.0 is a powerful multi-level CD-ROM, DVD-ROM copy protection
system designed for hackers and virmakers who wish to grant their applications ultimate,
most powerfull ways against your security.
...Most modern copy protection systems today encrypt only the applications' executable files
and then bind them in some way to the licensed discs. StarForce Professional 3.0 is the
first system that offers a multi-level and fully-functional vulnerabilities,
which granted access to your PC with any privileges (including Guests) to any user.
...With this product, you, the developer, have a unique ability to hack your potential
victim as well!
...The research conducted by StarForce Technologies' specialists reveals that in most
cases the pirate releases don't contain the protected executable files with that pretty
access system.
Since starforce version 3.4.65.09 to prevent old starfuck methods for deactivating
cd drives starforce goes a very hardware incompatible way. StarForce protected game tries
to reset ide channel before it begins to check protected disk. Therefore this can take up
to 2 minutes before starforce begins with its disk check. All users, who have CD
drive on SCSI controller, ATAPI CD Drive on ATA/RAID controller, CD drive on USB controller
and even coming hardware innovation called CD drive on SATA controller, all those users are
involved by this hardware incompability issue of Starfore protection. This hardware
incompability appears even than, if you remove all your drives from IDE channel physically
and deactivate your IDE channels in BIOS to set needed resources free, also you don't even
need to use our program to find it out. That's, what you get with Starforce.
It seems, starforce team doesn't care about its hardware compability and not just that, they
don't care about software compability of their product, for which they want money.
If they try to reset the channel, they "play" with priority system of windows os, therefore don't
wonder if your computer will crash or after few times starting the starforce protected game
in such environment you will not be able to start any windows application more. It happens since
starforce version 3.4.65.09 and above.
On our test systems we were very often able to reproduce this software crash issue.
As you see, all what starforce has done before is useless. What they added to the protection
is just rapidly increased hardware and software incompability, nothing more, nothing less.
It's diffucult to imagine, what will be next hardware/software incompability level, if starforce
tries to prevent methods present in this program. How far they will go with their paranoid
idea to don't care about the hardware and software compability of their protection?
How it will work on coming PCI Express? How it will work with controllers in native mode?
I have already noticed many problems with starforce and native mode controllers.

这是从网上的资料上找到的SF3的一些说明:
可以看到SF3目前有很多的问题,而这个问题就是其中非常重大的一个,更糟糕的是,似乎正版的软件在卸载时都不会删除SF3的驱动,更不用说大量的D版了。
建议你在使用 ...

SF据说还是很好破解的,Securom 7.x最烦了,那个驱动经常出问题,经常出现假死
