Hello, whenever i log on i would get a system32\bridge.dll error. I removed that i think but i am still unable to get onto the internet with Explore. Out of 4 pc's on the network 3 are acting this way. Only one had the error on it at start up. Please let me know where or what to do from here. I have ad-ware6 on all the pc's and it is not showing anything on them. I have tried to remove what i thought was the problem but i must have missed something.
Hi Kyle, This error message is an indication that you have spyware/malware on your computer. Since you are on a Network, chances are all computers will have to examined. We can start with the first, follow these directions:
We need you to download and install an analysis and repair tool called Hijackthis.
Please unzip Hijackthis.zip or move the hijackthis.exe file into a new folder you create in the root (first) level of the C: drive. Name this folder HJT for best and safest results. Don't place it on the Wallpaper, in a temp folder, or in the root level of the C: drive or the My Documents folder. It will create many backup files and they need to be stored in a unique Hijackthis folder.
After downloading, and unzipping the hijackthis file into a safe folder you create (preferably a folder named HJT in the first level of the C: drive)...run Hijackthis, click on the 'scan' button and then 'save log' button.
Copy and paste the contents of the text file you save into a reply to this message. A lot of posters make mistakes here in copying and pasting so reread the left info sidebar called Copy and Paste at

Special Notice! Hijackthis is a powerful tool that edits the brains of Windows (the Registry). DO NOT FIX anything in the Hijackthis log screen without assistance from the experts! Most of the line items in the scanned log are normal for Windows operation. Hijackthis should identify the vast majority of your problems and enable us to help you clean them off your system.
Stay in this thread for continuity. Reply to this message.
Thanks,

Hi jbnd007, I appreciate the fact that you posted your log, but we have a policy of not posting into another persons thread. The logs are hard enough to interpret and evualate, without trying to do two at once in the same thread. I would appreciate it if you would start a "New Message", posting the issue you are experiencing as well as posting your log in that thread. This way, as soon as one of the experts can get to your log, they will be able to give it their undivided attention. Please remember that we are all volunteers and that the logs are many and we are few. If you will post and be patient, someone will review your log and intruct you as to how to proceed as soon as possible. Thanks...pskelley

I have also done a system restore for about 60 days ago and that has not helped either.
Thank you again,
Kyle
