Recently one of my friends arrived to me with his laptop and guess what he was not alone he brought a nasty rogue antispyware called SpyLocked or recently known as SpywareLocked ;). He was using avast! Home Edition with not so very old virus definitions. It was horrible to see that avast! never complained about this nasty rouge antispyware, in short it failed to detect or to stop it from infecting his laptop :'(. I tried various antispywares like:
- Spyware Terminator :-[ [FAILED]
- Spybot Search & Destroy :-[ [PUKED]
- MWAV - Microworld Emergency Virus Cleaner (which uses one of the best anti-virus kernels i.e. Kaspersky’s Engine) :-[ [PUKED BIG TIME]
So, it was up to some R&D and T&E (Trial & Error), and I came up with some good
stuff to completely and safely remove this nasty rogue antispyware. Below are some
good removal tools and images that can help remove it
