Little Eagle,

Thanks for your time and the suggestions.

I faced two issues while carrying them out.

1) The safe mood rebbot document got re-directed to another site which prompted me with a visus kind of message.
I searched symantec, found the right document, re-booted in SAFE mode, and removed the offending exe.

2) System Security Suite 1.04 froze more than once.
I removed some temporary files by choosing Start->Settings-> Taskbar and Start Menu-> Advanced->Clear

The HijackThis log as of today after the suggested fixes is enclosed.

Thanks once again.

Acharyan

Log looks clean :)

Please read through the ideas and free software listed below that will help to keep your computer clean.
Some of these you may already have installed or may have done already.

Install a firewall.ZoneAlarm FREE

Ensure that an Antivirus is updated weekly and running. You only need one.
AVG antivirus from Grisoft is a very good FREE antivirus program.

Make sure you have the latest critical updates from windows update.

SpywareBlaster will prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.

IE-SPYAD puts over 4000 known 'bad' sites into your IE restricted zone so that they cannot install malware on your PC.

Google toolbar has a very good built in popup blocker with a nice search bar. To provide privacy, select disable advanced features when installing.

Check your system for latest virus definitions with an online virus scan every week or two.
TrendMicro HouseCall
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner
Panda ActiveScan

Check your system for latest trojan definitions with an Online trojan scan also every week or two.

And also see this link for additional security information.
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Please consider using Firefox
