Spylocked Trojan Virus Help

What is Spylocked?

Spylocked produces fake alerts that state the computer is infected...

Spylocked is the latest in a long line of trojan, rogue anti-spyware programs from the Smitfraud family of trojans. Spylocked self-installs secretly onto the victim's computer, then proceeds to download and silently install additional trojan programs onto the computer. As this is happening, Spylocked produces fake alerts that state the computer is infected with a virus and demands that the computer owner purchase their rogue "Anti-spyware" program in order to stop the fake alerts and remove the non-existent virus.

What to expect if a computer is infected with Spylocked?

  • Your computer system will be running much slower.
  • You will receive/see many fake warnings and pop-ups that appear to be from Microsoft stating that your system is infected. In most cases Microsoft will never warn you whether or not your computer system is infected, that job belongs to your Antivirus and Antispyware programs.
  • Your internet bill may be showing signs of over-usage that you were not currently aware of; this especially applies to dialup and internet users whose internet service keeps track of their usage.
  • In the event that the Trojan virus has stolen personally identifiable information from your system you may see more serious actions take place; such as, charges on your credit card bill that you didn't charge and possibly other evidence of identity theft.

How can I better protect my computer from getting infected by Spylocked?

Here are some tips to keep you from having to worry about Spylocked spyware removal:

  • Install a trusted antivirus and firewall. Such as, AVG by Grisoft for antivirus (www.grisoft.com) and install a router - a router is a hardware firewall and it is the best type of firewall protection.
  • Install at least two trusted antispyware programs. I highly recommend Spybot Search and Destroy by Safer Networking Ltd. (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html) and Ad-aware by Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/). One of the benefits of these programs is that they don't run all the time in the background so they don't use up your CPU processing power. However, the downside then is that you do need to remember to run them yourself at least once a week.
  • Be very cautious about what you decide to download and install onto your computer. A considerable amount of these types of nasty software try to fool you into thinking that you need it or it's something that's required to view a webpage. Almost all of these kinds of warnings are false no matter how official they may look. If you have any doubts, don't allow it in. If you're unsure about what to do, talk to a professional tech at support.com before installing it.
