SpyLocked Removal Instructions

Posted: June 26, 2007

Why is it important to remove SpyLocked?

SpyLocked is an illegal and corrupt anti-spyware program!

SpyLocked pretends to act like an anti-spyware program, but it’s a very dangerous program that may scare you with false alerts so you’ll buy their software. Once you click on the fake message, you’ll be taken to SpyLocked’s website. SpyLocked may not really clean your computer, but may actually impair your computer, stealing your money.

SpyLocked is part of a group of rogue anti-spyware applications which falsely report spyware infections, then offer to remove the alleged spyware for a fee. Rogue anti-spyware applications similar to SpyLocked include SpywareQuake, Pest Trap, and VirusBurst.

I have SpyLocked, what do I do?

You have many options for detecting and removing SpyLocked. The most extreme is reformatting your PC, possibly costing you all of your data and definitely costing hour of time wasted on reloading your PC to its original form. Reformatting your computer should be your last resort. If you’re having problems finding SpyLocked, try using a preferred spyware scanner to quickly detect SpyLocked first. If you don’t have a spyware scanner, you can always try the instructional methods provided below.

  • Start a full system scan to detect SpyLocked & other parasites.
  • SpyHunter will automatically search for SpyLocked files.

Please note that SpyHunter’s free scanner is only for detection purposes. If SpyHunter’s scanner finds SpyLocked on your PC, you can buy SpyHunter’s full version to remove SpyLocked and other spyware.

Are you infected with SpyLocked?

Your machine may be infected with SpyLocked, if you have the following symptoms:
*Note: Symptoms tend to vary depending on software installed on your system and other system factors.

Symptom #1: A questionable red or green icon appears in your system tray next to the system clock, representing a newly installed program which you do not recall ever downloading. If you click on the icon a fake system alert popup will direct you to SpyLocked’s website. In some cases, even when you don’t click on the icon the fake system alert may still pop up.

Symptom #2: The questionable icon pops up a fake system alert that lures you into downloading SpyLocked program by stating that your computer is infected with dangerous spyware and that you should download SpyLocked program to remove the alleged infection. The false system alert may read:

“Your computer is not protected against spyware! Spyware able to steal your data including passwords, credit card numbers, etc. Scan your computer for spyware immediately! System scan is highly recommended by Windows Security Center.”

Symptom #3: Once you’re infected, rogue anti-spyware SpyLocked will run on every time Windows starts up. A screenshot of SpyLocked is provided below.

SpyLocked Manual Detection

If you’ve discovered that SpyLocked has infected your PC, you must act quickly and take the proper steps to eliminating the infection. Note: The manual removal of any parasite is difficult. To avoid the unnecessary risk of damaging your computer, we advise you to download SpyHunter’s spyware scanner tool to automatically detect SpyLocked.

To manually remove SpyLocked, follow these removal steps:

Step #1: Remove SpyLocked with Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.

Sometimes all it takes to get rid of spyware like SpyLocked is to remove the program using the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows.

  1. In Windows XP Professional, click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
  2. In Windows 2000 Professional / Windows ME / Windows 98, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
  3. In the list of programs, search for the software you want to remove. If you see a program you don’t recognize or don’t recall installing, look it up in Google to learn what it is.
  4. Select the questionable program and remove it with the Remove button.

Step #2: Kill SpyLocked using the Windows Task Manager

To kill a SpyLocked process that has infected your computer, you will need to use the Windows Task Manager to check by process, highlight the process in question, and then end the task. To do this:

  1. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC on the keyboard.
  2. Click on Processes Tab to see all active tasks. For easier detection, left click the process under the heading Image Name.
  3. Find and kill the following SpyLocked process:
    SpyLocked 4.3.exe
    SpyLocked 4.2.exe
    SpyLocked 4.1.exe
    SpyLocked 4.0.exe
    SpyLocked 3.7.exe
    SpyLocked 3.9.exe
    SpyLocked 3.6.exe
    SpyLocked 3.5.exe
    pmsnrr.exe
    pmmnt.exe
    isamntr.exe
    codecaddon1169[1].exe
    avD.exe
    SpyLocked.exe
  4. Once you’ve identified the SpyLocked process, press DEL on your keyboard or click End Process to kill it from your system.

Step #3: Use PsKill to Kill a Process

Sometimes a parasite can disable your Windows Task Manager so you can use pslist and pskill (a third party application by Mark Russinovich) to list and kill the unwanted processes.

  1. Download PsKill or PsList.
  2. Extract the program from the .Zip archive.
  3. Move pskill.exe to your C: drive.
  4. Open a command window and click Start > Run.
  5. Type cmd and click the OK button.
  6. In the command window, type C:pskill.exe and the name of the process you wish to kill, then press Enter. For example, if you wanted to kill the process for SpyLocked, you would type: C:pskill.exe SpyLocked.exe.
    If the file was successfully removed, PsKill will say “process SpyLocked.exe killed”.
