Incidentally, I've been seeing quite a lot of TitanShield infections on the anti-spyware forums recently, if you are having problems with this one then I suggest that you get expert help from one of the forums listed here, if you really can't wait then there are some self help instructions here, and please don't forget to register your complaint at Malware Complaints, we can't do anything about it if you don't complain.
