Hi,

I read through the link in the sticky thread about bridge.dll and did the regedit that it suggests. However, I still get the warning when I startup. It is also still listed in the Add/Remove Program. I deleted the bridge.dll file through Norton Antivirus when it came up, and the warning started coming up after that. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Well, if you've already done what the sticky thread says, then it would be appropriate to post an HJT log. Go ahead and do that, and we'll see what else comes of it.

Also, did you see WinFavorites anywhere in your Add/Remove programs control panel? If so, try uninstalling it.

Find hijackthis here:

Download HijackThis from here & unzip it into it's own, permanent folder, (Not a temporary folder or the desktop (in a folder on the desktop is fine) & not directly on your hard drive). If you prefer an executable file, then download from here.
If you have anything disabled in MsConfig, please re-enable it/them.
Start HJT & with all browser windows closed, press the scan button. When the scan is finished the scan button will change to save. Save the log to a text file, copy the entire contents of the text file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.

Here's what HJT spit out:
