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 -

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community....security.virus

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....emoving_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.

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions

http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions

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/th.../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.
