It sounds to me like you are the victim of a fake spyware cleaner. A lot of free products masquerade as Spyware Cleaners and actually are infecting your computer. You should definitely be careful when downloading free (or even some pay cleaners).

Computer Security is very important, especially if you use your computer to handle any type of financial information. I would strongly recommend you consider purchasing an anti-badware product.

If you are purchasing security solutions for an enterprise, the best products available are the itSoftware Security Suite (http://itSoftwareProducts.com ). The spyware detection and removal capabilities of Repelit and Scrubit are the best available. They can even protect you against zero-day attacks that no signature-based products can.

If you are purchasing a home security product, I would recommend Spysweeper because itSoftware only sells the itSoftware Security Suite to businesses. Spysweeper is the best product available for the home market.

Spylocked is a scam. It is rogue software. It is spyware itself trying to trick you into purchasing a useless anti-spyware program. Do not buy it! It uses phony, fake "warnings" to goad you into purchasing it.

The Spylocked fraud is caused by
one of the latest variants of the Smitfraud infection. Below 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!

For free and immediate relief, spybot se personal is a good one, but the best for overall computer is Etrust Antivirus. It is free through roadrunner. Otherwise it is about 100 dollars.

To solve everything get a Mac !!

I have had the same problem as you.The installation of spybot1.4 is a very aggressive program,but be warned that it will do intensive deep scans within your pc.While removing the bad,it may also remove some of the good as well.Anything spybot1.4 thinks is a threat will be destroyed.I only wish you good luck in a positive way.
