This tool is free and does not serve any ads. It removes Spylocked 3.1 in seconds.

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
