Download the free Superantispyware version. I use this program and it is very well known to find all types of spyware missed by all others. Will remove "spylocked".

You wont get as much details about spylocked anywhere online as much as you get here
http://spywaresignatures.com/details/spylocked3.1.pdf
This tool is free and does not serve any ads. It removes Spylocked 3.1 in seconds.
SpyLocked Description:
SpyLocked may be marketed by malware that displays false or exaggerated warnings of spyware infection on the desktop to entice users to download the program. SpyLocked typically displays exaggerated or false scan reports of infection to frighten the user into paying for the program since the free version of the program will not perform threat removal.
Here are some pages where you can read what it is and where it comes from

You have one of the latest variants of the Smitfraud infection. Here is a link to complete removal instructions.
How to remove SpyLocked (Removal instructions using the free Smitfraud Fix removal tool):
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic85376.html
Most "general-purpose" anti-malware programs such as Norton, AVG, AdAware, etc. can not or will not remove this pest Smitfraud. And most who would tell you such, have no actual factual information. They are simply touting there favorite anti-virus or anti-spyware as as "cure for everything".
BTW, SpyLocker often gets installed when someone goes to view a video at a "not-so well-known" website. The website will say that a "special" codec is needed to view it, and asks to download it to you. If you allow the download, you will NOT be downloading a codec, you will actually download a trojan called Zlob. The moral is, never allow a website to download "stuff" unless it's a well known and respected site. And oh yeah, that video would have played just fine without that "special" codec! P2P downloads using programs such as Limewire have also been known to be infected with Spylocked.
Good luck!

Go to the site below and scroll down to free online virus and spyware scans. Select Panda (ActiveScan) from the list. This will remove it.
