Beware of SpyLocked, it,s spyware, not antispyware!
A new specie of malware is crushing the pc users: SpyLocked. SpyLocked is a false antispyware program that does nothing than lying users that their PC is infected by malware and it encourages them to buy the full version….what an easy trick but very efficient.
SpyLocked is spread by trojans and false codecs. The main giveaway (apart from seeing a program called SpyLocked running on your system) is the balloon message that’s displayed:
Verizon Service Combats Web Threats »Verizon Business is a company based in Basking Ridge, N.J.,and is a unit of Verizon Communications. The...System alert!
System has detected a number of active spyware applications that may impact the performance of your computer.Click the icon to get rid of unwanted spyware by downloading an up-to-date antispyware solution.
To remove SpyLocked you need a tool called SmitFraudFix. You have to download this to your desktop before to begin the removal process. You also need a tool that can open Zip files. Windows XP can do this for you automatically or you can download 7-Zip (a free compression utility).
