Looks like the term 'Administrator' is becoming meaningless if Starforce copy protection is going to have this much control of your PC. Stories about Starforce continue to pop up around the net and whether true or not, they're still worth looking into. I bought a game that had Starforce on it once. Luckily upon returning home, I checked the Starforce "infected list" and sure enough it was on there. Needless to say, I returned the game un-opened.
