System 32

[Sally]

I get the following message when I switch to my folder:
Missing: c:\windows\system32\bridge.dll. Also, the
System 32 always pops up. How can I fix this from
happening? Thank you for your help.

You don't want it, Sally. To rid from it, run all of these.

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by
an incomplete program removal, in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. It can also
be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."

Actually, you haven't completely cleaned up your spyware problem.
And you certainly don't want these particular files back.

Bridge.dll is _not_ a valid Windows file, it's part of
LoudMarketing's spyware.
