My bridge is out! I get an error msg at start up saying
this module cannot be loaded (a virus destroyed it). Is
there a wat to download it? Thanks!
Bridge.dll is not a valid Windows file, it's part of
LoudMarketing's spyware.

To deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or
"spyware,"such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Smiley Central, Xupiter,
Bonzai Buddy, or KaZaA, and their remnants, that you've deliberately
(but without understanding the consequences) installed, two products
that are quite effective (at finding and removing this type of
scumware) are Ad-Aware from
www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search &
Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org/. Both have free versions.
It's even possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your
system against most future intrusions. I use both and generally
perform manual scans every week or so to clean out cookies, etc.
Additionally, manual removal instructions for the most common
varieties of scumware are available here:
