    do a windows repair

    boot from ur windows cd

    and load the setup program.

    on the first screen it will say

    press enter to install
    r to repair
    esc to cancel

    press enter

    then after a few more pages it searches for prevous windows installations, if it finds one, which it normall does, press r to repair.

    simple

    Bridge.dll is related to WinFavorites, which apparently is spyware. The above link tells you exactly what to do to resolve the issue. If this doesn't fix your problem, THEN AND ONLY THEN should you ask for help. Also, you should only post an HJT log if asked for one.

    HiJackThis is an excellent tool, but only in the hands of a user skilled enough to interpret the results. It is unfair just to post an HJT log and basically say, "fix it!". These posts don't contribute anything to the community we're trying to build here, and it indicates a lack of initiative on the part of the original poster, basically showing that the user isn't interested in learning anything, only having their problem fixed. That's not the type of user we want to foster here...

    Also, another method you may like to try is;


    Start>Run

    Type in MSCONFIG then enter.

    It will bring up a configuration menu, click the 'startup' tab, and look for that path (the bridge.dll one) and untick the box next to it, then click apply and restart your comp.

    That will stop it from loading up on startup.

    Its also pretty good to stop other things you dont need loading at startup, such as quicktime, realplayer etc.

    Although be careful that you dont stop critical processes from loading up! lol.
