RunDLL
Ok I hope someone out there is smart.
Everytime I start up my computer i get this message... RUNDLL Error Loading "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BRIDGE.DLL" The System Cannot Find The File Specified. I looking in that folder and there is a file in it called bridge.dll . But I get this error message everytime I decide to go onto the computer. I have a program that stops RUNDLL from starting at startup so when I use that I dont get this message. But the program is only a trail and soon I will be seeing this message everytime I get on. Can anybody tell me what to do to fix this??? |

The problem is not in Rundll but the Bridge.dll parasite

RunDLL
$$$$ Parasite Alert $$$$
BRIDGE.DLL Bridge.dll is not a Win Me file and probably due to your system being infected with the WinFavorites.Bridge parasite which pops up unwanted ads on your PC (for more details see http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/w...tes_bridge.asp). If you haven't already done so I would strongly recommend that you check your system for possible viruses using your preferred anti virus application equipped with an updated set of viral signatures. However you might first want to check your PC using one of the online virus checks such as McAfee's online checker (http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp) or Trend Micro's Housecall (http://housecall.antivirus.com). This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware SE Personal edition from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm) that checks for unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster (http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent some parasites getting a grip on your PC. Just is case the problem is due to a new version of the CoolWebSearch parasite you might want to download and run the CWShredder which targets that specific parasite. Unfortunately neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be able as yet to fully detect all the various versions of the CoolWebSearch parasite as it keeps changing. For more details of the CoolWebSearch parasite see http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp. CWShredder, merijn's removal tool, can be downloaded from http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a folder called HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp folder) and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log to either the HijackThis Forum at http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable someone to identify the cause of your problem.
