Windows XP startup error message

[Derek Walker]

Hey folks,

I have recently been getting an error that reads. "Error
loading C:/windows/systems32/bridge.dll The specified
module could not be found" I have no idea what this is
or why this started happening. Im able to click it off
and it doesn't seem to be affecting anything but Im just
curious if anyone else has run across this and why this
would be happening. Thanks!

BRIDGE.DLL is scumware.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BRIDGE.DLL

Adware.WinFavorites

LoudMarketing

If you have already removed the scumware, look for and remove
any reference to BRIDGE.DLL in the registry.

Especially these two keys >>

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
