    I've been getting the error message "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\bridge.dll The specified module could not be found" Message when I start up my computer. I ran Adaware 6.0, and then Hijack This and I'll post the results of the logfile below. If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance.
