Problem with C:\Windows\System32\bridge.dll

I've had a problem with a pop-up declaring that a file named C:\Windows\System32\bridge.dll is missing whenever I boot my computer. I searched the Internet and found a thread with the same problem. He was guided to this forum so I'll follow the same procedure. I would be very grateful if anyone could check my HijackThis log to see if there is something I should delete.

I cleaned my computer with Spybot and then searched with HijackThis. The log I got:

Hi,

NOTE that these 2 items below may not be fixed automatically. You should edit these manually if possible, or leave them for now and tick the others. I recommend you leave these, and we will look at this problem after you get rid of the other problems.

F0 - system.ini: Shell=C:\PROGRA~1\Aston\aston.exe ,svchost.exe
F2 - REG:system.ini: Shell=explorer.exe ,svchost.exe

What you do need to do, is make both entries above the same but REMOVE the svchost.exe entry I notice aston.exe is a shell replacement for explorer, so this is normal to have this entry. However SVCHOST.exe may be a trojan, can you check your computer for ALL copies of this filename. If one exists in the Windows folder please send it to me - address at the bottom. There should be a real SVCHOST.exe, the real file exists in Windows\System32 - this is normal


Definite problems :
Close all browser windows, run Hijack This, and tick these items.
Then choose Fix Selected, and reboot your machine.
