SpyLocked is the latest rogue anti-spyware program to come out from the makers of SpyDawn and Virusburst. SpyLocked is installed by a trojan called Zlob, which attempts to trick you into buying the alleged anti-spyware program. Once you're infected with SpyLocked, a fake security message similar to a Windows notification pops up saying your PC is infected with malware. This SpyLocked message is used to lure you into purchasing, downloading and installing their program to remove the imaginary spyware.

SpyLocked may also automatically launch at your computer's startup and scan your computer. SpyLocked can be extremely difficult to remove manually, and will continue to try to recreate itself.

Disable Norton and go to www.download.com and download AVG, AVG AntiSpy, Spwareblaster. May also want to run Adaware, Spybot, and CCleaner. If you download the trial version of XCleaner it will find things the others don't. You must disable Norton before you run AVG if you don;t you will have problems.
Might try hijack this too. In my opinion AVG is a much better program that Norton and it is free.
Right click on your start button and hit explore let the screen load and then look under your program files and see if there is a folder there that is called NewDotNet if so delete it. Remove all Spysheriff too.

I use 2 antispyware programs. Download and install Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware by Lavasoft. These 2 programs are terrific and FREE. Running both of them should clean up your spyware problem!

Get a paid version of antispyware and virus checker. Norton is best for me. If you are short on cash then check Microsoft site for "free spyware program"
