What is a rogue anti-spyware program?
SpyLocked is a rogue anti-spyware program.
A rogue anti-spyware program is a program that uses spyware and other deceptive tools to trick you into purchasing their fake spyware remover. A rogue anti-spyware software will install a trojan on your machine to download the software. You’ll know you’re being tricked if you go to a website and an ad pops up that looks like a Windows notification message. Once you click on the ad’s OK button, this will direct you to the software’s website. In other cases, simply by clicking the cancel or close button can start the rogue anti-spyware program’s installation. Often, a rogue anti-spware program will display false positives (nonexistent spyware) when you use their spyware scanner. Some rogue anti-spyware software, like SpyLocked will automatically download the trial version without your knowledge.
How do I know I have SpyLocked on my computer?
Good question! The first step in detecting and removing SpyLocked is by asking yourself whether or not your computer has been infected. SpyLocked, as well as other unwanted software, can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to remove but knowing the SpyLocked symptoms can start you on the road to having a SpyLocked-free computer.
SpyLocked Symptoms
If you answer “yes” to any of the SpyLocked symptoms listed below, you may have SpyLocked or other types of parasites installed on your computer. Keep in mind that the symptoms of SpyLocked and other unwanted software infections vary.
SpyLocked may install without your knowledge or consent. Downloading shareware/freeware software or visiting questionable websites might lead to a SpyLocked infection. Once installed, SpyLocked can compromise your privacy by transmitting your personal information and downloading popup advertisements.
SpyLocked may monitor your surfing habits. Once installed, SpyLocked or other types of parasites can do almost anything. It can tracks which websites you visited or what terms you’ve typed. Spyware uses your information to deliver targeted ads to you. Also, data of your surfing activities may be sold to third parties.
SpyLocked may bombard you with popup ads. SpyLocked may display annoying popups while you surf the Web. You might have SpyLocked or other types of parasites on your computer if you see pop-up advertising, even when you are not on the Web or when your computer has been idle for many minutes.
SpyLocked may hijack, redirect and change your Web browser. When your Web browser’s home page unexpectedly changes without your consent or your Web browser suddenly closes or stops responding, you might be infected with SpyLocked. Also, in other cases new toolbars appear on your Web browser and you can’t get rid of it.
Slow computer performance. A sluggish computer is one of the easiest signs that you have been infected with SpyLocked. SpyLocked and other unwanted sofware use your computer’s resources to do its nasty tasks such as displaying popups or tracking your surfing activities. If you see your computer is slowing down dramatically or crashing a lot, you may be infected with an unwanted software.

Duren,
First you have to find SpyLocked in your computer. Are you getting this message:
“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 anti-spyware solution.”
There’s a process to removing unwanted files. Before you remove anything make sure you backup your PC. Check in your computer if the files listed on this article appear on your computer. You can search through your Task Manager for unwanted files. You could also have other types of spyware. Use the scanner to quickly check if there’s anything malicious in your computer. You don’t have to pay to run a scan in your computer.

Spy Hunter detected, but did not remove the latest version of pjgerka.dll from my laptop. I found from Microsoft’s process explorer utility that the DLL was assigned to the explorer process. It is difficult to delete the explorer process and then delete the DLL! Additionally, I could not unregister the DLL (the unregister entry point could not be found).
My solution was to create a batch file deleting the DLL and listing it within the run entry within WIN.INI.
