Thank you! :(

[dlh6213]

Your bridge.dll problem should be resolved by following the steps in this thread:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread7370.html

You also need an antivirus program running; you can find one in this thread:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread5690.html

Also in that thread, you should run all of the tools provided. These steps will eliminate most of your problems. The tools listed here will probably do a better job then Spyware Doctor. There's even a link to a HijackThis tutorial if you want to learn more about it.

If you're still having any trouble after following these steps, post a new log.

[kellierm8]

Yeah, I have done everything that message told me to do before I even posted this. None of it has worked. I have used 4 different spyware programs. Ran them all during safe mode. Deleted all of the files that were found. Still having error problem. Still have too many processes running at one time. I also have .exe's that pop up while surfing. I have followed every direction possible in every forum I have been to. :cry:

[dlh6213]

What antivirus program are you running?
Open task manager and end the process for winln.exe (if it's running).
Close all windows, scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:

Reboot into Safe Mode.
Go to c:\windows and delete winln.exe
Go to C:\WINDOWS\System32 and delete bridge.dll

Reboot normally, close all windows, scan with HJT and post a new log.

[kellierm8]

thanks for all the help so far. :)

[dlh6213]

You still haven't mentioned what antivirus program you're running.

I'm sure there's more stuff to fix, but the rest will have to wait for one of the pro's.

[kellierm8]

i'm running avast, spydoctor, and trendmicro right now. thanks for the help. the error message is gone, even though i still have some viruses, they aren't really affecting my computer as badly as before. so i'll survive until my security class next semester. but really did appreciate the previous help. keep on computing! km
