I installed Pinnacle Game Profiler from download.cnet.com, using the Direct Download Link. Bad idea. After installation, I was prompted to restart my computer, so I did. After logging in, I was bombarded by error messages. Lots and lots of stuff not working. It looked like some of it was AVG related, which I have installed. I checked, and sure enough, AVG wasn't running.
I had created a system restore point before downloading the program, just in case. Unfortuantely, doing it didn't change anything. I tried using Add/Remove Programs to uinstall it, but clicking the Change/Remove button didn't do anything. And I couldn't launch any programs, although the only ones I tried were Firefox, Photoshop, and Media Player Classic.
Currently, I'm on Linux Mint 15 until I get this fixed. Doing some research, I found that Pinnacle Game Profiler frequently triggers false alarms with anti-virus software, but I couldn't find any evidence of it being malware. And I'll be happy to do the DDS with logs thing if people here think it's necessary at this stage.
Anyone know how to fix this?
