Fix for error - Bridge.dll?

[JRJ]

My computer is infected - I deleted the bridge.dll file
(spyware related) and now get the error message everytime
I boot (can't find). I also get a synchronization error
with my McAfee AntiVirus (just installed - late, I know).
As a result, I am unable to clean up my computer. What is
the fix to clean up my computer and get rid of the boot
error messages? Should I completely reinstall Windows?
Thanks.

After Spyware / Adware is remove, you may get an error finding files on
reboot

This is pretty common. Many spyware programs add themselves in the Startup
location
and execute when Windows boots. If you receive an error when rebooting after
removing spyware, do not panic. This is more than likely a startup remnant
trying to access the spyware program that is no longer on your computer.
HiJackThis is a great utility to find and remove these startup remnants.
However, there is a less technical way of removing these items:

(1) Click START to RUN and type: msconfig
(2) Select the STARTUP tab
(3) Uncheck the file that pertained to the startup error message you
received
(4) Click APPLY and OK
(5) Reboot your system

If this fails to fix the startup error message after reboot, there are still
options:

(1) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
(2) Delete the icon that pertained to the startup error message you received
(3) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
(4) Delete the icon that pertained to the startup error message you received
(5) Reboot your system
