Raghu, I've cross posted to the secuirty.virus newsgroup.

<AntiSpywareSuite is a fake spyware removal application usually downloaded and installed
by a Trojan. Once executed, AntiSpywareSuite will generate fake warning messages stating
that your computer is in serious danger. Might be difficult to remove >

Security - Viruses OE client -
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.security.virus
or Web client -

Hopefully someone there can assist you further.

Great crosspost from TaurArian. Mr. Ollakal - As TaurArian said, your
computer is infected by a rogue antispyware program a program that
purports to be a Good Guy but is really a Bad Guy. Since these types of
malware commonly download/install more malware, you can't assume that the
main program is the only infection.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
malware here:

When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums
listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. You will
generally be asked to:

1. Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT) -
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe

2. Disable Notepad's word wrap - In Notepad.exe Format --> uncheck "Word
wrap"

3. Download/run Deckard's System Scanner -
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/Deckard/dss.exe

4. Save the scan results (Main.txt and Extra.txt)

5. And then post the contents of Main.txt and Extra.txt in your post at the
forum you chose. DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech
suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself
(and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent
of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be
so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have
all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.
