System32 automatically executes after user log-in

[Mitch]

How do I stop this from happening in Windows XP?

to reappear after reboot.

Name: RunDLL
Type: REG_SZ
Data: rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll", Load

Bridge.dll is used as part of spyware. What happens after the program is deleted by AdAware or SpyBot SD, the pointer remains so you keep getting an error message on start-up. The easiest way to clean it out is to use HiJack This. The program gives you a log sheet and the folks at Computer Cops can then review it and tell you which lines need to be fixed, which HiJack This can do. They can be found at http://computercops.biz

It worked for me.
