saw a previuos post 01-22-04 about error loading bridge dll, and I've done the following, ran spybot,cwshredder, still had the error msg and then ran hijackthis, and have a scan log file if requested. please advise thankyou.

You should post the HJT log as it helps with the solution.

I was going to post the log file but the msg came up that told me it might be removed from the forum if not requested. so here it is and thankyou for the help. Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7

First, move Hijack This to a permanent directory like c:\program files\hijack this\hijackthis.exe. This way you can undo any changes if something goes wrong.
Put a check next to this, click "fix checked" and reboot.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.dll",Load

Delete this file, if found.
C:\WINDOWS\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\BRIDGE.DLL",Load
