change that, it doesnt show up on HijakThis, but if i do windows search for "bridge", the bridge.dll shows up as a file on the comp

[starjoe]

ok.... now the game i was playing just kicked me back to desktop, and when i did HijackThis, this is the new log that turned up..... If i just remove the two bridge files, it will be back after i restart.

Again... thanks for any and all help

There is a simple solution for this. this is for most windows programs that allow access to msconfig.

to get rid of the bridge.dll popup,,,, you need to left click on start(bottem left corner of screen),, and then left click on run.

in the box that comes up,,, type in msconfig and then click on ok.

In the new window that comes up,, go to the top right and click on the tab labeled "Startup".

you will see a list of items that have a box that can be checked to the left of each one with green checks in them.

find the one with bridge in the text line and uncheck that box.

click apply towards the bottem of the window

click restart when prompted.

when computer restarts a box will popup saying you have used the system config utility,blah,blah,blah click the box that says dont show this again,,, and then click ok. Problem gone :twisted:

You are right that will do it ,Fininf the idems with Bridge in it with hijackthis will also .but there are other isuses with this log also ,other files left by trojans ..
Also msconfig is a diagonstic tool and not reall meant to be altered and left that way ,it is best to remove these entrys from the registery and that is what hijackthis does.!:)

"Fix Checked"...Reboot to SAFE mode to delete files
