I'm quite sure that belongs to Subsim's SSSSSH! department, but yes the Starforce removal tool(the official one) is the second part. For the first part you'll have to Google around a bit.

The Starforce Removal Tool is perfectly legal because it is made by the creators of Starforce.

Trouble is, every single time you put your SH3 DVD back into the drive, it runs a check and reinstalls Starforce if it is missing.

Nothing you can do about it besides seeking your own solution. New versions of the SH3 game do not have Starforce. Finding a copy to purchase may not be easy for a game that's nearly four years old.

Google might turn up something.

I lost not just one but two DVD drives in the space of 6 months. I banned Starforce from my computer and have not had one single problem with my DVD drive in over two years since.

Newer copies of SH III don't have Starforce & can be picked up cheap. I picked one up from NWS here: http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.yahoo.net/ a few months ago. I paid about 10 bucks US & it came pre-patched. There are no disk checks or codes to keep (for reinstallation) and once the game is installed you don't need the dvd to play your game.
