   Sweet merciful Jesus, are you serious!?   
      
   Looking over the Starforce infected list it doesn't show, but man that   
   is a scary thought.

   Starforce did a real number on my buddy's PC, sat there and fucked both   
   of his DVD rom drives up, now they'll only read CDs and the DVD rom that   
     was also a burner won't burn *anything*. At least it didn't format his   
   HDD like some have reported...but still.   
      
   Breaks me heart, the amount of quality titles on that list that I'd love   
   to play, but will *never* install until they "un-starforce" them(check   
   the bottom of the list for those they already have).
