IIRC that problem no longer exists. But even if it still would, it´s irrelevant, because the vast majority of gamers logs into Windows with admin rights. Viruses and other harmful pieces of software don´t need Starforce to kill a Windows installation or to delete other important files.
Don´t open email attachments from unknown senders, keep Windows updated, use antivirus/anti-spyware software, a firewall, a decent browser and email client and make regular backups, then there is not much that can happen to your system.
