So I just booted up my pc, and on my desktop was a program titled "Google Earth Pro". GoogleEarthProIcon.png.47d140d27a42c085d5879fda39d3f659.png I always monitor my background processes to make sure nothing downloads and my pc gets unplugged when it is turned off, so I am confused how I got there. It seems to have replaced Google Earth, as it isn't in the Google directory (in Program FIles (x86)) and there is no shortcut on my desktop. It has put its self into: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google Earth Pro\client". Is this a virus or something that I should be worried about?

From recent experience, it has replaced the regular Google Earth. I used the web type installer that was downloaded about a year ago, and it downloaded and installed Pro, so I don't think there is anything to worry about. Looks like it updated in the background but required a restart to finish, and didn't notify you.
