Thank you, Roe

You have viruses and worms. You've been hijacked and have mucho registry entries that need correction run anti-virus such as AVG run spyblaster or spysweeper. Good luck.

Hi Roe, Yep. Do at least one Anti-Virus scan + Spybot +Adware. Then make another HijackThis log and post it on the Security & Virus forum. Tell them about this post too, so they know what you have already done. Anti-Virus: ▫ [on-line] BitDefender Anti-Virus ▫ [on-line] RAV Anti-Virus (AV Security) ▫ [on-line] ActiveScan Anti-Virus (Panda) ▫ [on-line] HouseCall Anti-Virus (Trend Micro) ▫ nod32 Anti-Virus (eset) ▫ F-Prot Anti-Virus (F-Secure) ▫ AVG Anti-Virus (Grisoft) Anti-Spyware: ▫ Spybot Search & Destroy (Safer Networking) ▫ Ad-aware (Lavasoft) ▫ CWShredder (Merijn.org) ▫ TDS-3 (DiamondCS) ▫ Pest Patrol ▫ [on-line] TrojanScan (GFi) Keep in mind that some of them may need to be updated over the web first when started, and before zapping the baddies! ___________________________________________ ☺ [Belgium, GMT+1]_________________________svg

Do the following, much easier: Open notepad, and copy the information in bold: 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.

Bill, you are the sorcerer. Following yours advise I have solve the bridge.dll error problem that was bothering me for days. Thanks.
