Flashing question mark in task bar

Hi, Hope you can help. I've got a flashing question mark in my task bar with a system alert pop up which directs me to spylocked.com. I've got Norton Protection Centre installed and ran a full system scan. This cleared up a few things but the question mark is still there. I've also tried running Spybot but the question mark persists!! Do you have any advice?

Do you regularly use spyware/ malware utilities? I don't know about the Norton product as I don't use Symantec products other than Ghost. Try running AdawareSE and Spybot search & Destroy.

disable Norton antivirus while installing these tools and then update these and scan with both of them:
AVG Anti-Virus
Ad-aware SE
