Which is absolute **** as far as I am concerned.
It's an outright lie. StarForce is a device driver that replaces parts of the kernel mode drivers hidden deep within the OS. STARFORCE IS -ALWAYS- running. AND in safe mode too.
I was wondering what Dll(s) are the malware ones used by Starforce?
I would assume it's all of them.
I'm sure that's an illusion StarForce are happy to see enforced.
No, it's true. StarForce is the hardest to crack. Worms 4 for example wasn't cracked at all... until some months after the first patch was released. All game files can be encrypted with different keys, which means simply bypassing the copy protection is not a solution. In the case of Worms 4 (the most extreme case I have seen thus far) there was a protect.dll ranging in at 16 megabytes. Of course that is just to make things hard for the cracker - the cracked protect.dll comes in at 365 kilobytes. Not that I would know.
How can they justify that?
Up until recently I used to justify such things as, well, because all the game files for the full version can be encrypted, it is probably much easier just to bung the same encrypted files into the demo, thus needing StarForce to decrypt them. That was up until TrackMania Nations was released - a 100% full and freely downloadable game - and it does of course have StarForce. It just makes no sense.
