Default [urgent] Grub Issues! Error 17

Alright, i rebooted my rig because i had just installed a new AV, and when i did that, i was greeted by the GRUB screen saying "Error 17". At that point, i can't get past it. I tried resetting CMOS, changing SATA ports, everything. I was going to boot to a Damn Small Linux LiveCD to try to fix it from there, but it doesn't want to work either. Can someone please tell me what's going on? It has always worked perfectly before this.

Have you tried removing your new AV program? It could be causing a MBR/Bootloader issue.
