Bridge.dll is malware.

Get Hijack This here:
http://computercops.biz/zx/phoenix22/hijackthis.zip
http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html,

run it and delete an entry similar to this:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BRIDGE.DLL",Load

(Note: DO NOT delete any other entry, as most of them come from good
programs and you need them)

reboot and delete the file:
Windows\System\bridge.dll

If you don't have the file then it has already been deleted by
antispyware, you need to delete the Hijack This entry, though.

Good luck
