Files Missing at startup

[Jack Bruss]

When my daughters computer starts up, we get three error messages, each of
which says a file is missing. The files are as follows:
C:\Windows\bxxs5.dll
C:\Windows\System32\inetp60.dll
C:\Downloaded program files\bridge.dll

Once we clear the error messages, the computer seems to work ok, but we
can't get on the internet, nor can we get on our home network.

I tried to run an anti virus program, but it wouldn't install because
another file was missing - shell.dll.

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks,

Jack

Well, the bridge dll is a sneaky download that runs and takes away your
search page. I'd run ad aware or spy bot and clean up the system.

The fact you can't load an antivirus probably means you are infected also.

PS: You are asking for the Swen Internet worm and much spam when you post to UseNet with a
real, not a munged, email address.
