RUNDLL error

[Guest]

Every time I start my Windows XP, i get a error message:

RUNDLL

Virhe ladattaessa: C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\bridge.dll

Määritettyä osaa ei löydy.

Which is something like "Error opening: C:\WIN..." "Defined file cannot be
found"

How come? Where can I get that file?

Hi

bridge.dll is a part of some spyware.

Please try these programs to check for any spyware that may be on your
system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com

Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions:

Hi! And thank you very much for your quick reply!

I have used Ad-aware program, and in fact this problem started one time when
I ran the Ad-aware. It removed something spyware related files from my
computer, and since then the error message has started prompting...

Does this problem have a connection to another, which started at the same
time:

Every time I start my computer, I have to set again and again the guick
start icons on the task bar right next to the Start -button. The icons won't
appear automatically, I have to switch them on every time and always arrange
them, because they are always disoriented -or anyway not in that order what I
want...

Strange...

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi

Run all those programs - they may pick up more spyware. Also have a look in
msconfig>startup to see if there is an entry there for that file. If so,
uncheck it then reboot your system

I found many spyware related stuff from my computer and removed them. A also
found the bridge.dll filed checked in the msconfig. Now it won't prompt the
error message when starting the machine -but it still won't keep the quick
icons on the task bar! I still have to put them on every time...

And do you know why My Files -folder opens automatically every time I start
Windows...? I cannot find anything concerning that in Startup -folder or
anything...

Yes, sorry I meant My Documents -I'm using the finnish version of Windows and
trying desperately to translate everything. Sorry about that...

So, it's kind of an bug in XP. I'll try to run the reg...

 

[Guest]

Okay. Now at least for one startup everything seems to be in order...

Thank you very much, Will!!!
