Comment: Hi, It just happens that today, I can't seem to open mi IE when I click on the icon on the desktop or anywhere. THey only time i could reach my browser is when i log on to my MSN messenger and check email and then using that browser go to another site. Everytime i click on the usual IE icon, this appears: "cannot find 'file :///c./spad/start.html'. make sure internet path or internet address is correct." I might have a virus, or could it be because I erased my quarantine archive from my Ad-Aware6.0 (is that bad?) and erased something really important? I have Process explorer, Spybot Search&Destroy, and WinAntivirus 2004. This thing also pops up everytime i log on to my windows: "RUNDLL Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\Bridge.dll The specified module could not be found" Any help is appreciated. YOu guys have been really helpful to us poor lost souls. Thanks, Francis

Reply: (edit)Hi Frank, You have a toolbar hijacker that cannot be fixed with the usual programs recommended here. My suggestion is to download HiJack This, d/load it to its own folder. Then go here: http://www.computercops.biz/ Register in, and go to the HiJack This log forum; run HT on your computer, and save the log, then post it. A tech will be along shortly to help you. Sometimes you will not be able to access ComputerCops; they are under DOS attack by spyware barfbags and sometimes you can't get through. Just keep trying, it opens up after a while. HiJack This logs are not allow on this forum because of the large amounts of space they take up.
