Learn more about PCBUTTS1 and his antics and ethic and his perversion
with Porn and Filth. Just take a look at some of the FILTH he's created
and put on his website: http://www.webservertalk.com/message1907860.html
3rd link shows what he's exposed to children (the link I've include does
not directly display his filth). You can find the same information by
googling for 'PCBUTTS1' and 'exposed to kids'.

It is one of the MANY rogue so-called anti malware programs that are caused to be downloaded
by FakeAlert and/or ZLob Trojans. This is collectively called the SmitFraud family of
malware.

SpyLocked is also known as SpywareLocked, which is a rogue software,
"ransomware", that seeks to trick the user into purchasing its full
rogue version. SpyLocked will issue fake security messages alleging
that the user's computer is infected with malicious spyware threats.
Once installed, SpyLocked may be very difficult to remove and may re-
install itself after partial removal.

Infection
The method of infection is similar to the delivery methods of all
other rogue anti-spyware programs. SpyLocked can infect a computer
through web browser security holes, downloading and installing itself
through Zlob Trojan horses Infection .

Problems caused by SpyLocked
Once inside the computer, SpyLocked may cause a variety of problems to
the owner of the computer. Symptoms are obvious: popups, false system
alerts in the system tray, and a noticeably slower computer. What are
less obvious are the activities the software executes within the
system. These trojans can steal personal information.these type of
trojan have been known to steal bank account numbers, credit card
information, home addresses , dial 1-900 numbers on your money, and
much more.

SpyLocked may generate excessive advertisements and bombard computer
screen with unwanted pop-ups.
The infected computer may show an icon on the system tray adjacent to
the system clock. Clicking the icon will take the user to a rogue anti-
spyware site. Even if the message is not clicked, it will
intermittently show a message similar to:
"The system has detected a number of active spyware applications that
may impact on the performance of your computer. Click the icon to get
rid of unwanted spyware by downloading an up-to-date anti-spyware
solution."
SpyLocked may not allow the user to uninstall it by using Add/Remove
function and may recreate itself every time the user tries to remove
it manually. Additionally, trying to remove it manually may even lead
to a system crash. SpyLocked will deliver fake security messages that
user's computer is infected with spyware in order to promote its
alleged rogue anti-spyware product.
Spylocked may run as a number of different processes including
'isamain.exe', ismain.exe' and 'isamntr.exe' These processes usually
can not be terminated individually (however, they can be removed using
the 'End Process Tree' option on the Windows Task Manager) as they
often restart themselves.
SpyLocked may block the access to some websites for its purpose to
prevent the user from downloading legitimate anti-spyware programs.

Variants
SpyLocked is known to be associated with such rogue anti-spyware
programs as Spydawn, SpySheriff and VirusLocker. These programs share
similar interface with the mentioned anti-spyware applications and
have the same deceptive intentions.

Removal
SmitFraudFix is a free malware removal tool for Spylocked and many
other similar programs.

Spylocked can be spotted and blocked/deleted by the AOL Spyware
Protection software. In order to do so, a full scan must be used and
it will appear under the name Spax AV. After it is blocked, deleting
the malware will eliminate Spylocked and the repetitive message in the
system tray.

SpyLocked can also be removed using LavaSoft's Ad-Aware SE.
