Have you recent installed or uninstalled anything?

You could also try this little program to clear up the problem, but I will still look into the issue when I get off work.

This Little Program :p

Try doing a search for "bridge.dll" in the forum. This topic has been discussed a number of times.

I believe the general concensus here is that "Bridge" is related in some way or other to spyware...

Yeah, it definitely is. It's at least related to the Golden Palace/Gold Casino" malware packages, might be a component of other malicious programs as well.

Moving to the Security forum- you'll find the fix for the bridge.dll problem in many of the threads there.

CRIS_650510,

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread already started by another member. When multiple questions start getting asked within a single thread it can quickly get confusing to follow which answers relate to which question. This is known as "thread hijacking", and it isn't really fair to the original thread-starter, as it take the focus away from his/her question.

You need to start your own thread for your question here in the security forum.

Thanks for understanding... :)
