"What is Starforce?

Starforce is a software copy protection tool installed by PC game
publishers, which is designed to prevent the casual copying of retail
CDROM applications. It installs as a hidden device driver, without the
end-user's knowledge or consent."


Starforce is malice ware, it installs without your permission and
comes with no uninstall features of it's own.

Well I uninstalled the demo (cause its crap) and theres no Starforce left
behind.
Installing the demo did put an Updater program on my Programs Menu which
I thought was pretty arrogant of Ubisoft. Main reason to avoid this
game/demo is cause
its crap - not because of Starforce or Updaters ...
 
Starforce is hidden, its there, you can uninstall all you want starforce
remains. If you then install something else that contains Starforce but a
more updated version it updates itself without your knowledge. Do a search
there are utilites to remove it completely.
