SpyLocked Description: SpyLocked may be marketed by malware that displays false or exaggerated warnings of spyware infection on the desktop to entice users to download the program. SpyLocked typically displays exaggerated or false scan reports of infection to frighten the user into paying for the program since the free version of the program will not perform threat removal.

Here are some pages where you can read what it is and where it comes from

Spam
Please don't add links to spam, which includes promotions of companies (sites to remove SpyLocked). Rather, just add information on what SpyLocked is. Sr13 (T|C) 18:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have evaluated carefully all of the links. Here is what I found:

Links 1 and 4 were from blogs. Blogs should not be referenced. Links 3 ans 5 were from directories (see above comment). Links 2 and 6 are okay, and I have left them there. Sr13 (T|C) 01:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

If you happen to add external links that help users removing SpyLocked, please do it in the order of time that posted.

Here's the current order:


 * Learn How to Remove Spylocked


 * What is Spylocked? Removal method


 * Free Tool To Remove SpyLocked


 * SpyLocked Removal Instructions


 * About SpyLocked


 * Manual Removal Intructions - SpyLocked Virus

Otherwise, confusions will arise unnecessarily. And please read the posting policy and follow the rules when you modify the article.

This is not an instruction guide on how to remove SpyLocked, and this includes the links given. Please see WP:NOT and WP:SPAM as well. Sr13 (T|C) 06:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Please tell if you think this would also be SPAM?
Hey! Is it ok to add links to webpages that contain description about Spylocked?

For example I have seen this page which has max information about spylocked online. Most detailed case study by spywaresignatures

http://spywaresignatures.com/details/spylocked3.1.pdf

This page is an individual page ( PDF file ) with no ads and no links.

Please tell me this would be considered as spam as well and I wont paste it to the site.

Cheers
