I have no idea how I got it. It just popped up today and embedded itself into my pc. There are 2 shields in my active programs menu at the bottom right of my screen. If I right click the left one and click close it doesnt do anything. The other just has options to open up the menu. It causes 2 or 3 different pop-ups that take over my whole screen no matter what I'm doing. They pop up once about every 5 minutes. I have tried using my Avira scanner to remove it but it just build up a bunch of errors. I tried spybot search and destroy but it said that it needed to reboot to remove. I unplugged my network cable and rebooted. It said it removed it, but it rebuilt itself if it did because its back in full force. I have logs from that OTL if anyone needs me to post them. Thanks for any help.

The pics are a couple of the pop-ups that it causes.
