When I start my PC, I get a long and complicated error message that begins: "The description for Event ID ( 12 ) in Source ( sfsync02 ) cannot be found." Then it freezes. Trevor Grant
The sfsync02 probably refers to the StarForce Protection Synchronization Driver from Protection Technology's StarForce Protection System. It's mainly used to protect computer games, and that's probably how you got it installed. Apparently, it can be very hard to get rid of it. However, you can download an official StarForce Removal Tool from an online security site (http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55), so I reckon this is your best bet. Removing it will mean that whichever game installed StarForce will stop working, and if you reinstall the game, it will reinstall StarForce.
