Okay. I have windows version 2000, Service pack 4. Custom built computer. Last few programs are...well Trillian Pro, and bit torrent. My problem is that everytime I start my computer I get the error "C:\WINNT\system\bridge.dll Cannot be found" I read on another thread on this site that It's spyware, and reading a few of the posts, i downloaded Hijackthis, and scanned. I got the following...

If you could tell me please which files I need to remove? ^.^

Have HJT fix the following entry; that will eliminate the error message:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINNT\system32\bridge.dll",Load

Also-
I'm moving this to the Security fourm; that's where we deal with HJT log analysis and "spyware" issues in general...

YES! It got rid of that annoying error, thanks ^.^. Thanks a lot.

Oh and one question, it's not really related to this I don't think, but out of curiosity, do you guys help with winamp problems? For I'm facing a problem when downloading skins...

Glad we could help.

In terms of your Winamp question- yes, we probably can help you. Since you're using Win 2K I'd suggest starting a new thread on that question in our Windows Nt, 2000, XP, eTc forum. When you do, please give us much exact info as to any error messages or the like that you get when trying the install.
