SpyLocked may be disguised as a downloaded audio file or video codec. It is always a good practice to check the source of all downloaded files and programs.

Do you know what DriveDefender is?

DESCRIPTION

DriveDefender is a fake anti-spyware program installed through the download of a Trojan. DriveDefender is an oxymoron term as it does not defend your drive but potentially cause damage to your system. DriveDefender, if installed, may give users false spyware scans with popup alerts forcing users to purchase the DriveDefender program. DriveDefender may not remove any legitimate spyware parasites. DriveDefender’s main goal is to get money from you. It may be difficult to remove DriveDefender from your system because it re-launches each time your computer is started up.
