Removing Starforce (solved)

I just installed trackmania nations, and unwittingly burndened my pc with the attrocity that is Starforce.
Now my computer asks me a bunch of annoying questions before it boots up, culminating in me having to select "last known good configuration".
My question is: How do i get rid of starforce for good? I've uninstalled the game, but its still there. The actual files vista quotes in the boot up are sfdrv01.sys and sfvfs02.sys (i browsed to the driver directory and there are a few other files with the sf prefix).
What can i try?

Thanks.

edit: i found a removal tool for it http://www.onlinesecurity-on.com/protect.phtml?c=55

Yeah and if that doesn't work, there is a manual removal guide here.

It does cause a lot of problems for a lot of people so hopefully that will do it, though i never had any problems.
 
wonder what would happen if all the people who had problems after installing starforce got togeather and sued the ass off the people forcing it upon gamers
 
I wouldn't mind so much if it just updated itself or there was a massive "this is the vista driver" link on the starforce page.
After reinstalling X3 on Vista it was throwing up the "this is broken" stylee messages. I didn't want to read their website much, just get the driver and get off. I have a mass hatred of Starforce after my move to X64 stopped me playing numerous games...
As it happens all I saw was some 'sunshine up our own asses' story about how they have a Vista driver, not a flashy direct link. :(

Anyway, that's enough ranting... I just googled Starforce removal tool, was a small easy download.
