It may have done so, and so do a lot of other things. I'd be willing to
wager that it's more of a problem with individual computer configurations
than it is with Starforce. But the problem has been over-blown, and most
have just jumped on, for whatever reason.
How many in a hundred do you think had a problem with Starforce? You'd
probably have to go to a thousand before you'd start registering numbers.
When people think their privacy is being compromised, it doesn't take long
before thousands feel the same way, without those thousands even looking
into what might be happening. Take my word for it, those who want to
compromise the privacy of others do so in much more nefarious ways.
