Never said that it´s totally harmless.

4. type into the command prompt, "netstat -a" active connection will include a connection to 'SF Protection' it should be listed as "Listening."
5. type into command prompt, "netstat -b" to see all connections if SF was not listed as Active then it should be listed in here.

I don´t see it on my system.
Do you have a game installed that uses an online SF activation? As you probably know there are different flavours of SF.
What´s the remote address or listening port?
Have you ever noticed that it from time to time opens an unasked connection to a server on the Internet?
If you have noticed it, is it possible to block the traffic? Does a software firewall inform you that something tries to access the Internet or does it use "stealth methods"?
Have you noticed that something unusual is going on while SF is connected to the server, like lots of disk access or a certain amount of CPU usage?
Have you used something like the Sysinternal tools to find out which registry keys and files will be accessed while it is connected to the server?
Have you noticed anything else that can be seen as a hard fact that SF really adds a "cyber door" to your system and that it is potentially harmful or that it can be exploited by something else?
