If you don't want to buy an actual antivirus system, I suggest you at least try AVG. It's free and fairly effective. Below is a link to it. Hopefully it works. Spyware is such a pain! After you've run AVG to clean out the trojan (and any other trojans is may have downloaded) then you should think about gettin Ad-Aware and/or Spyboy to clean out Spyware. Those are also free.

    If you simply would like to get the stupid program off your computer do one of two things.
    If your able to, go to the start menu, then control panels, then add/remove programs, find the spy ware program and press remove.
    My friend had the same thing on his computer and the solution I just wrote worked just fine.
    But if the spy ware program pops up and you can not get to your start menu, turn off your computer.
    Turn it back on and when it is loading press F5, this should bring up a menu on how to start your computer. Select "Safe Start Mode" This will allow you to go to the add/remove menu like I previously explained, without the spy ware popping up.

    SpyLocked is a Dangerous fake antispyware software and it is update version of SpyDawn. SpyLocked is a variant of Trojan.Zlob. SpyLocked display a fake warning message to purchase the paid version of SpyLocked.

    SpyLocked also displays a fake warning alert with flashing icon on your system tray. A Pop up balloon warning messages claiming that your PC is infected. For example : "Critical System Error", "Your computer is infected", "System Alert", "Security Alert", Trojan-Spy.win32@mx", "Virus Alert", "Security Alert" or "Spyware.Cyberlog-X".

    I got all these information from this site and you can also check it. There you can also get the complete manual and Automatic removal.
