Default GameShadow is a Piece of Crap

I got suckered into installing GameShadow with my SH3 and what a mistake. Something happened with my InstallShield program and now my XP system is corrupted!!!

I can't even use the System Restore feature of XP. Can you believe this crap?

Eventually when I get the time I will have to do a complete system recovery. Too bad my Gateway recovery XP software is polluted with the AOL Virus and a bunch of other crap. Last time I did a full re-install it took me about 4 hours after all the updates. Then days of tweaks.

Anyone else run into InstallShield problems?

Cheers

I dont think this is GameShadow's fault,

I think you just had a couple of viruses that sayed it was time to show their faces, some virusses it takes some time before they starting to do real damage to the computer.
The reason to have a good Protection center installed on the computer because you aint safe without one.

I dont installed or never going to install gameshadow because I dont need to have an other programma to look for games, I use ASE its only to look for online multiplayer games to join into. no extra features , good I dont need it

I had to install it to play MP! No problems with it, or viruses detected.
