Default Alarm problem now

As some of you know I got my car back from the paint shop on Saturday and the bloody alarm keeps going off, I've tried leaving it unlocked and it still goes off, I've tried the double lock to disarm the sensors and it still goes off?

Any ideas?

Is the hazards supposed to flash when the alarm goes off as mine don't?

Mine displayed exactly those symptoms, it turned out the alarm was knackered.
I replaced it with a Toad 606.

On my car, if the alarm goes off due to a weak battery, the hazards don't flash.
