A quick search of this .DLL file on Google shows that it is seemingly related to adware or spyware. If you feel comfortable using the registry editor you can go to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Once there remove the following line: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.dll",Load If you don't feel comfortable with the registry editor you can follow these instructions: Use Notepad, create new file and write the text you see between the scores: ----------- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "RunDLL"=- ----------- Save the file as: unbridge.reg. Close notepad. double-click unbridge.reg and accept the change. Once this is done you should be able to reboot without the message for Bridge.dll.

Yes, bridge.dll does not belong there so it's not a version you should keep. Please do NOT post hijack this logs unless requested to do so, and ONLY AFTER you've read the rules regarding posting these logs. Thank you, J. j e r u v y a t y a h o o d o t c o m

Hi-jack this is TRASH.....more problems than cures!

Yes bridge.dll is spyware. It would appear from your post that you have already removed the program and all that is left is the entry in your startup file. Click Start Run Msconfig. Go to startup tab and remove check from in front of bridge.dll and you will not get this error anymore.

Thx a lot, problem solved ;-) can someone give me a better program than ad-aware 6.0?? Thx.....

Spybot S&D works better for me than adaware If your car is running good...don't give it a tune-up....same goes for your PC....and when in doubt...try a system restore to the point when the PC ran good...it WORKS!
