SpyLocked is a Dangerous fake antispyware software and it is update version of SpyDawn. SpyLocked is a variant of Trojan.Zlob. SpyLocked display a fake warning message to purchase the paid version of SpyLocked.
SpyLocked also displays a fake warning alert with flashing icon on your system tray. A Pop up balloon warning messages claiming that your PC is infected. For example : "Critical System Error", "Your computer is infected", "System Alert", "Security Alert", Trojan-Spy.win32@mx", "Virus Alert", "Security Alert" or "Spyware.Cyberlog-X".
I got all these information from this site and you can also check it. There you can also get the complete manual and
Automatic removal.

Try scanning in safe mode with network.
Tap F8 when booting your computer. Choose safe mode with network.
Start in safe mode with network.
Start -> Run: type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html (Enter/OK)
Scan your computer.
If you find something; delete it. Restart and do the same again. When the scanner finds nothing this scan is finish.
Reboot again in safe mode with network.
Start -> Run: type iexplore http://www.ewido.com/en/ (Enter/OK)
Scan your computer.
If you find something; delete it. Restart and do the same again. When the scanner find nothing this scan is finish.
Now you can reboot to normal mode.
*NOTE: Do not surf the net or open any programs when doing this scans. This because you can start spyware/adware/viruses manually.
-----------------------------
*NOTE: Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer. Anti-adware/spyware are ok to have more of.

One option; cntrl alt to identify the program doing this, then do a google search for "xxx" killer or "xxx" removal.(whatever the name is xxx). There as many removal programs out there for free as there are those pesky toolbar viruses. You just have to figure out the name of it and then find the program that kills it/ removes it.

truth. the only two that really work are adware 6.0 and spybot search and destroy. the other one will install a program and remove it as though u had that program on ur puter. those are the only two i use.

i also experienced that before when i download something like codec for your player but i found it a trick because it installed an adware and thats wat you got now. try to use bitdefender it really works on my computer. ive tried using nod32 and AVG but it cant detect. bitdefender detected it as false alarm..
