Antispyware Soft reality:
is a rogue anti-spyware program from the same family as Antivirus Soft
and Antivirus Suite. Just like its predecessors, AntispywareSoft
reports false system security threats to make you think that your
computer is infected with malicious software. Usually, this fake
program is promoted through the use of Trojans or other malware, but
it can be also installed on your computer without your consent and
knowledge through software vulnerabilities.

to remove it from an infected computer, checkout this tutorial

Removal tools (or instructions for manual removal) are no solution to an
infection, particularly not with malware that may download more malware
or may give an attacker remote access. One can never be sure what else
was modified on the system and thus can never be certain that the
malware was removed entirely.
