trouble Unwanted flashing icon on taskbar


Hi,

HELP!!!!!!!!

I somehow, accidently received an application that I cannot get rid of. There is an icon on my taskbar that flashes from a question mark(?), to a red circle with a diagonal red line through it. When I right or left click on it, it brings up Internet Explorer browser that takes me to a website for a program called "Spywarelocked", which I am requested to purchase. I found a file in my Program files, named "Spywarelocked 3.4" and I'm not sure if I should just delete that to cure the problem.
I tried to uninstall it from my: Start/Programs/Spywarelocked/Uninstall, but the icon continues to appear and flash. I have tries quite a few other ways to try to get rid of it, but have had no luck. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
You may e-mail me too if you would like, but make sure you you indicate in the subject line, that you are sending me a suggestion or idea, by typing in "Possible Cure for your icon problem." I have also tried running several Spyware and Virus programs, but to no avail.
Thank you all so very much for any help you may be able to provide to me.

Sincerely,
Drumah
