    StarForce can break some drives /hardware/, parent had SecuROM break /software/ (drivers). I've never heard of this before, but I believe it inserts itself as a CD driver to prevent some things, so a small bug could easily ruin a driver stack and require a reinstall.

    One of the many dangers of trusting legal, properly licensed software. Kind of sad that you can trust scene hackers more than legit content providers; I've found trojans in both but the former is by far cleaner.
