This message box appears when I start up my computer.

RUNDLL

Error loading C:\windows\system32\bridge.dll

The specified module could not be found.

How can I get this to not come up? Is it a spyware
program?

"Bridge.dll" is a remnant of a spyware file and should be deleted.

Yes, but first make sure that it is not still in start-up,
if it is you can just take it out of there...
