I've use ad-aware to remove the contamined folder n' file. than after restarting my computer I'm getting a message that I am missing a bridge.dll file when I start my computer. Kinomoto Sakura Jya~Ne

Restore the file from Adaware's quarantine list. Then select and place it in the ignore list, as your system requires it use. This should resolve your problem.

Do not restore the Bridge.dll file from AdAware's backup folder. That is the main part of the spyware the AA killed. Restoring it may restore the spyware on your system. Go here: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html Download HiJack This, and Cool Web Shredder; create a new Folder in Explore/Program Files and label it SECURITY (or whatever you want); Into it drag and drop Ad Aware, HiJack This, Cool Web Shredder, SpyBot, and Spyware Blaster (you can find them by Google search). Run Cool Web Shredder, allow it to kill anything it finds. Same for all the others. Now shut down all your open programs, especially any open internet browsers. Run HiJack This and post the results here. Since the posts on this forum age quickly (move down the line) and don't refresh you might want to move fairly soon. :0)

start ... run ... msconfig ... start up disable bridge.dll Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Mattie: that will not remove it and several other associated files from your computer which can cause you dirt later.

Please help me with this! I too have the bridge.dll issue. Here's my Hijackthis log.

Here is the bridge.dll fix from Aaron Hulett, the Chief Research Officer | Lavasoft Research and a Microsoft Certified Professional: [QUOTE](ahulett @ Mar 21 2004, 06:29 PM)[/QUOTE] Open notepad, and copy this information: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "RunDLL"=- Then, save as bridge-repair.reg (make sure you change the Save As Type from .txt to All Files), and then right-click that .reg file and choose Merge. Tell it yes to merge it in, and then you should be all set.
